According to a new independent poll conducted by Insightrix Research Inc., 32% of Saskatchewan residents in romantic relationships are expecting to “do the deed” on Valentine’s Day this year, consistent with findings in 2014. Given that only 23% of individuals report having sex at least once a week, playing your cards well on Valentine’s Day does indeed increase your odds for intimacy. With a significant portion of males (58%) wishing they had sex at least once a week, we looked into how they can get their partner on the same page this Valentine’s Day. While the leading turn on for both males and females is a massage or caress (30%), it turns out that females are looking to pages to get into the mood, with females being significantly more likely than males to pick up a romance novel to get their wheels rolling. So are Saskatchewanians purchasing gifts this Valentine’s Day? Males are significantly more likely than females (61% vs. 44%) to be purchasing a gift for their significant other this weekend, and are directing their attention to jewellery and flowers for their partners. Looks like men are hitting the right spot with these plans as females are significantly more likely to be expecting flowers (45%), a romantic meal (30%), and jewellery (17%). The fellas are planning on spending an average of $80.77. Men on the other hand, are more likely to be expecting to receive gift cards (19%), and clothing (16%). Tough luck for the gals though, who are more likely to be buying chocolates (43%) or a greeting card (39%). Not shocking that Saskatchewan ladies are planning to spend less than male counterparts, at an average of $56.35 – still a fair amount of that chocolate aphrodisiac! That being said, all is good in love and war; 70% of Saskatchewan residents would marry their spouse again if they had the option, with those 35 and older being more likely to admit they are still on board! Research Details A total of 800 randomly selected SaskWatch Research™ panel members participated in the online research study from February 2nd to 6th, 2015. Quotas were set by age, gender and region to match the general population of the province. As the research is conducted online, it is considered to be a non-probability proportion sample and therefore, margins of error are not applicable. For more findings on this survey, please visit http://insightrix.dev1.commandbase.ca/saskatchewan-valentine-day-intimacy-survey/ About SaskWatch Research™ Insightrix began developing its SaskWatch Research™ online market research panel in October 2007, using high-quality techniques including telephone recruitment and referrals from existing panel members. Presently, there are over 15,000 active panel members representing all regions of the province and distributions of the general population.

We are celebrating the career and retirement of one of our longest serving servers. “Hudson” is an Intel Xeon E5405 with 16 GB of DDR2 667 ECC RAM. Four Hitachi 147 GB 15,000 RPM SAS drives in a RAID 10 configuration provided 294 GB of storage. Hudson was in service for 4.5 years, which is roughly equivalent to a 37 year long career in computer years. He has provided Insightrix with email services, VPN, active directory, and was lead on the Blackberry Enterprise Server project (now superseded by BYOD). Hudson spent the last six months of service preparing his successors (a much younger, larger team of servers) to take over critical duties. We had a pizza party to honour his service where many of the staff shared warm experiences with exchanged email and reminisced about the old days of PST files. Many people laughed about who was the biggest “pain in his assembly”. Hudson has this to say to his colleagues: “01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100000 01000101 01110110 01100101 01110010 01111001 01101111 01101110 01100101 00101100 00001101 00001010
