 Bush orders intelligence
inquiry: a cover up on top of another and of another…
- Wednesday
February 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There is no surprise that Americans are about
to look a little deeper into the actions of their government as it relates the Iraq
War and the attempt to blame it on faulty intelligence is the latest gamble to deflect
the hard and serious finger pointing that is going on as the United States is into
its election year.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Superstitions like that yesterday's ground hog day are both a blessing and a curse.
They give us some little inscrutable explanation for the unknown but offer us nothing
but a silly excuse that we are to accept with no empirical evidence. It is good advice
to give no credibility to superstitions of any kind, simply a waste of time and emotion. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Newest electronics short on
simplicity (PDF) We all hide the fact that most electronic equipment
we buy almost needs a course or an expert to operate yet we don't tell one another
about it as we assume that, after all we live in a modern age and should be able
to work these things but now it is clear the manufacturers are screwing up making
everything to complicated. |

 Foiled- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : We have a tendence to believe, quite incorrectly
by the way, "that things in nature are without malace or evil intent. Like
other animals birds are thought to just respond to their instincts and live their
lives as they were designed to do." That concept is a myth. Waxwings are
evil, they harbour vandalistic thoughts toward me, my camera and especially my van.
Not only do they resent me, but they pass on their dislike from generation to generation.
This is not paranoia it is evidence based bias on my part and theirs.

 Back Alley Barrier- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Stu Innes
Regina: Regina is working its way out of the snow from
this past weekend and as with all things there can be problems. Stu Innes lives on
Albert Street and in the back alley behind his house the City crushed in a wall of
snow that effectively imprisoned a neighbour's car.

 Believing is not seeing- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Andrew and Timothy Shire
Winnipeg: Making a bland building what it is not is
in itself an artform. This is an extreme example of paint replacing architecture.

 Nothing But Junk
Food Left For Political Junkies On The Right?- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The members of the former Progressive Conservative
party consider the melding of their party and the Alliance as a hostile take over,
Stephen Harper is seen as an Albertan, Tony Clement, the former Ontario Health Minister
who is best known for the failure of Ontario's ability to handle the SARs outbreak
and a thirty-seven year old twice divorced millionairess, Belinda Stronach, who certainly
knows business, are the candidates for the new Conservative party. Its fair to guess
that Paul Martin has nothing to fear.

 Manufacturing truths out of hypothesises
and out of duplicities- Monday
February 2, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Logic is an unforgiving thing and we are being
asked to forego logic so that new situations do not make the past the lie that it
most surely was. If there were no weapons of mass destruction then what possible
reason was there for a war with Iraq. It is now established, there were no such weapons.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
February 2, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: When it gets cold Gerald
just keeps on walking. Letters from England and Sheho and news about an expanding
business in Naicam.

 Snowcity- Sunday
February 1, 2004
by: Matthew Shire
Regina: Regina is digging out of the aftermath of the
storm that trapped the community Friday. City officials reported Saturday that it
will take three weeks to clear most of Friday's accumulation.

 The Uplook- Saturday
January 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire, Illustrated by Dawn LaRochelle
Tisdale: As intelligent life forms we have a tendance
to somehow impress ourselves with our own decision making yet the reality of life
is that much of what happens is out of hands. Many people find it frustrating and
downright upsetting to make this discovery but alas our individual significance is
grossly overstated.

 Reclaiming Control- Saturday
January 31, 2004
by: Mike Reilly
Winnipeg: There is a serious danger in parliament passing legislation without giving
the process and the consequences the kind of consideration needed. When this happens
we all suffer and here is a case in point.

 Sunlight and fog- Friday
January 30, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Habitation fog, meteorologists call it "ice
fog," is relatively common in arctic towns, villages and cities. Most noteably
Whitehorse where the Porter Creek area actually is frequently socked in with fog
of its own making. But for the rest of us it is rare and with this recent cold snap
we had it three days running. These interesting pictures were taken Thursday morning.

 Parkland Photography
club January 2004- Friday
January 30, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater: Despite some adverse weather the club got
together to share this month's "landmark" theme and consider various club
activities. Great pictures this month.

 Rhapsody in Blue- Thursday
January 29, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are a set of pictures taken Wednesday
after sunset as the temperature descended toward -40º. The arid air and the
darkening sky provide a background for one of the most significant pieces of music
produced in the twentieth century. To hear this music you will need QuickTime
installed in your computer (download

 The madness of privatisation:
The root of an injustice system, in Saskatchewan and elsewhere- Thursday
January 29, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This is a very complex article as Mario deSantis
explains that private and public good can be extraordinarily confused and this should
not be the case. Read this story carefully and check out the wealth of references
the help to explain the problem.
