Perform Quotations | Page 4

We've got to perform better. I don't know enough right now to say we've got to go sign somebody for $10 million. I don't know that we have to do that. We just have to see what's available to us. You're always looking to improve, so sure, we'd love to add to our mix.

Last year, I didn't perform well. I didn't really live up to expectations.

Law enforcement dogs put a lot of strain on their joints as they perform the many physical and challenging activities they face on their jobs. As the cartilage begins to break down while the dog is still relatively young, more pressure is placed on the joints and the dog experiences discomfort. A household pet would take that as a sign to become more sedentary, but a working law enforcement dog does not have that option, so he'll continue to push himself while not really being able to obtain the same level of performance. We are pleased to be able to provide nutritious, healthy food for active dogs to help improve their quality of life and productivity.

I went to Coachella once, and it was only to go see Leonard Cohen.

I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.

I think, first of all, the semiconductor sector had been oversold. This was one area, the technology market that just did not perform well over the past few months. There is a lot of concern with investors whether or not this current upturn in the semiconductor industry has peaked. There is a huge debate going on whether or not we still have any growth left. And, our view has also been that, yes, we believe this is more of a seasonal slowdown than any prolonged downturn for the industry. So we think there is some legs left in the semiconductor cycle. And as a result, we would be a buyer of some of these stocks.

I think fantasy is a good thing, it creates interest. I don't think about it much. It's not like I go out and try to perform for a fantasy team, but I think they are good to create interest and not just in baseball.
