Trojans lose number six in a row
- Sunday
December 19, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale ;The Trojans have fallen on hard luck in their last six games as they have
been losing by a point a game up until last night when they were delivered a sound
defeat by the Moose Jaw Warriors in a 6 - 3 game. In this picture Kyle Caragan leads
a third period drive, one of many to even up the loop-sided score.

Tisdale : Thursday
afternoon the G5 arrived and for the rest of the day and Friday it was time to transfer
data and install applications. Saturday is the first full day of operations and it
has been interesting. 8 inches wide, 18 inches deep, 21 inches tall and weighing
in at several tonnes this is the biggest computer I have ever seen but its bigness
is not physical, this thing is a weapon.

Tisdale : The
reliability of voice over IP (telephone on the Internet) has come of age with AOL's
messenger and Apple's iChat. Years ago we tried the idea out but now it is
a practical everyday means of communication and it just makes sense to move to the
next level with a dedicated web cam for that purpose.

major varietys of wheat and barley were developed by government researchers and university
programmes but in the last three decades government has decided to turn over the
agricultural industry to the massive corporations. Now they will call the shots at

World War II

December 14, 2004
by : David Orchard
Borden : Mr.
Orchard explains the complete silliness of the American president's reference to
Mackenzie Kings statements during World War II. It make us all shudder to realise
the remarkable lack of awareness that is so much a part of the leader of the the
world's most aggressive and heavily armed nation.

houses in established neighbourhoods.

Prince Albert
: Emotions run very high about this topic but we need to step back from the noise
and check the facts. The proponents of this industry gloss over the glaring and utterly
overwhelming dangers of the past, all of which avoided the ultimate disaste,r which
is not just possible, but is inevitable.

Tisdale : With
the arrival of winter the crop year of 2004 is now behind us and there is no other
course of action than to consider the prospects for the coming year. Worthless crops
remain in the fields and worthless grain in storage while even more worthless cattle
continue to eat up abundant feed that even though cheap, will not yield and a net
return.

shovel is in the trunk of the car and put that extra set of keys in your pocket so
