 "May
your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases by white"- Friday
December 24, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : With snow falling and the temperature a seasonal -23ºC Tisdale experienced
a perfect Christmas eve. For us in this part of Canada every Christmas is a white
one but we can easily identify with the nostolga felt for Christmases past.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Advertisers must enjoy their work. They
have jackets made covered in advertising and people pay money to buy the jackets
and the advertiser gets paid to advertise. This one broke me up on a shopper in Melfort
yesterday. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Rumsfeld says
9-11 plane 'shot down' in Pennsylvania (pdf) This
World Net Daily story quotes one of Rumsfeld's comments that indicates the
Flight 93 did not crash from passenger action but was shot down. |

 The
miracle of Christmas and the obtuse notions of Paradox and Catch 22 in today’s Economics- Friday
December 24, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: The is a dramatic need for perspective so that we see things over the long term
and grasp the basic concepts of consequences that do not necessary occur simply because
some other circumstances may have had some similarities.

 As
Canadian as- Wednesday
December 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale
: If you ask a Canadian what it is to be a Canadian they
will mention a number of things but it is almost certain that all will have hockey
some where on their list.

- George Bush's smarts and the economy
- Wednesday
December 22, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert :
Last week the Administration of the United States government held a conference on
the economy and came up with some amazing decisions as they completely ignore the
decline these same policies have already had on both the US and world economy.

- Trojans
trounce Warriors 6 - 0
- Tuesday
December 21, 2004

skilled hockey and completely overwhelmed the hard skating and definitely competitive
Moose Jaw Warriors.

December 21, 2004

conditions.

 Stone

 Trojans
lose number seven 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.
|
- If we can redefine marriage, can we also redefine Christmas?
- Sunday
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.

- Today’s sarcastic comics in economic correlations: Bush meets Berlusconi
- Sunday
December 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Things are not going economically as one might like but certainly they are consequences
of very bad management and advise. Mario's story today gives a whole new meaning
to the term "go long".

 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.

- On
its way! Corporate-controlled, profit-maximizing, farmer-restricting system
 Tuesday
December 15, 2004
by: Joyce Neufeld
Waldeck : The
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
$15 an acre in perpetuity.
