Former teachers and public servants who have moved their retirement
savings to the pension plans of small businesses are being urged to
unite. Acting alone, they could have much to lose.

The Canada Revenue Agency now has court backing to revoke registration
of a pension plan if the tax collector can show a related new business
was not successful enough to pay a salary to the venture's employee,
the plan member.

Losing registration - back to the date of the plan's inception - could
trigger devastating tax bills, eat up future investment earnings with
taxes and cut off protection from provincial or federal pension
regulators.

A diamond stud earring is made up of just one perfectly cut diamond,
set in fine gold or silver. The simplicity of the design itself is its
own selling point: anything fancier and you could easily fall into the
trap of over-accessorizing. A single-stone earring is singled out for
its sophisticated look.

A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth,
corundum, the stuff from which rubies and sapphires are formed. Only
diamonds can cut other diamonds. Ironically, diamonds are also
brittle. If you hit one hard with a hammer, it will shatter. If it is
placed in an oven and heated to about 763 degrees Celsius (1405
degrees Fahrenheit), it will simply vanish, releasing only a little
carbon dioxide and NO visible traces whatsoever.

Contrary to popular perception, diamond stud earrings are not just for
women! There are quite a few male celebrities who have popularized the
use of ear accessories -- Johnny Depp being among the more famous of
them. Respected artists like Usher and Kanye West have taken to
sporting diamond earrings. Morgan Freeman wore a diamond earring to a
roundtable discussion of his movie "The Sum of All Fears" in
Washington DC in May 2002.
