Toronto Occupied by High-End Ger
An article in the Toronto Star has reported that some of the Occupy Toronto protesters have taken up residence in a beautiful, ornate yurt. While the article identifies this as an “insulated felt huts favoured by Turkic nomads in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan”, the shape is more reminiscent of the Mongolian ger, than the more pointy version used by Kazakhs, including Kazakhs in Mongolia.
Debra Rasmussen of Agriteam first alerted me to this report. Deb is also an accomplished jazz singer, of course, who has long been involved with the Giant Steppes of Jazz festival and sings with the Northern Lights Quartet.

I do not believe that the recent jobs report is really anything to get very excited about. If you take a deeper look into the data you will find that much of the increase in employment was temporary employment during the last couple of months of the year. I believe that much of the current employment problems stem from a lack of real wealth creating companies. Untill the country gets away from all the jobs in the financial service sector. I believe that the unemployment situation will not improve. Jim Rogers has stated this in many of the interviews that he has given to the news media that the financial services sector in the united states is much to large. Jim Rogers also believes that the savings rate must be much higher in the united states if we are to sustain any high degree of economic growth. Many retailers can make more money loaning money to their customers at 20% interest than they can make selling product to their customers. What does that tell you about jobs.
