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.

December 19, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Though I am certain what Ron Thornton is describing has already
occured and we haven't realised it, he makes the point that taking age old traditions
and modifying them will reduce their value and make them less relavent.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Fighting is to hockey as dandruff is
to hair. It is an unwanted affliction and usually a sign of poor behaviour by either
coaches or the referee. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 44% of Americans
Back Limits on Muslims' Rights: Poll This story
was carried by several news agaencies but originated from a published survey results
from Cornell University where researcher James Shanahan discovered
some very disturbing tendencies among the American public. |

 The
monster- Saturday
December 18, 2004
by :Ttimothy W. Shire
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.

 In
your face- Wednesday
December 15, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
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.

 Bush evoking
World War II- Tuesday
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.

 Tuesday
December 14, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington ;
This story is one of those confirmations of what most non-Americans expected, In
fact for the past five decades this is the standard behaviour of the United States
of America, its only a surprise to its citizens.

December 14, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The ice fishing season may have begun and there is enough snow at
the park for some snow mobiling. Jenny is taking part in the Breast Cancer snowmobile
marathon ride and you can pitch into that project.

December 9, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

Saturday and another will be dust tomorrow as lots are cleared to make way for new
houses in established neighbourhoods.

 Nuclear
Power is not safe, it is not clean, it is not economical- Thursday
December 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
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.

by : Marjaleena Repo
