Not a Nieuport
but a Camel- Tuesday
January 13, 2003
by: Brian D. Marlatt
White Rock, B.C. : Yes I should have known two guns
instead of one. Brian gives us some details on one of the most outstanding fighters
in history and built by a company that continues to produce outstanding aircraft
to this very day.

 Catch 22 for the
Tories- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Brad Thomson
Ottawa : Brad wrote this story on December 31, 2003
but I was unable to post it until today and it seems like the perfect time to do
so with Peter MacKay announcing this morning that he is unable to participate in
the contest for leadership of the newly merged Conservative Party. But Brad's
is not the last word on this subject as we post two other stories on the same topic
one by Joe Heuglin and the other by Bruce Federick.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Wacom's various tablets that allow input into your computer with a pen and
your regular handwriting. Microsoft Office 2002's Word, Excell,
Explorer all have hand writing recognition and Apple's Mac OS 10 uses
"Inkwell" technology which has handwritting recognition in AppleWorks,
Mail, Safari and other applications. The Pen is back! |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Saskatoon police
search for a killer. This CBC archive site has many video clips that
report on the Jan. 31, 1969 murder and rape of Gail Miller. David Milgaard was convicted
and served a full sentice for this crime which it was proven that he did not commit.
The first clip shown details Larry Fisher who has been since convicted of the crime. |

 The hypocrisy
of conventional economic gurus: Exporting America and combating terrorism- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its wealth of references point
out the preculiar and conflicting conclusions that the economic gurus have drawn
about the negative economic conditions that are engulfing the world as a result of
the selfish behaviour of the United States.

 PC party loyalists reconstitute
the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: This news release came out last Friday and unfortunately we were unable
to post at that time but with MacKays announcement not to run for leadership of the
Conservative Party this story takes on a new meaning and has some long reaching consequences
in the coming spring election.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
January 12, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: We did not have a picture
to go with last week's Greenwater report so today's report includes both this week's
report and last week's
column. Looks like Gerald is coping pretty well with the snowfall yesterday and
Saturday night.

 The Scandal of the Century:
Saskatchewan Authorities found guilty of malicious prosecution- Monday,
January 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The trial is over and the judge has ruled that
the prosecutor, the police investigator and a therapist all worked together to maliciously
prosecute a number of people sending one person to jail for a crime that not only
did the accused not committ but a crime that never ever occurred. This story gives
some insight into the thoughts that went into the judge's decision.

 John would have
liked it- Wednesday
January 10, 2004
Saskatoon: On Sunday we were at the John Diefenbaker
airport in Saskatoon. Though Saskatoon has every reason to be proud of the renovated
city owned facility I am certain the old guy would be so pleased to have his name
on this portal. This story includes a QuickTime VR of the inside of the airport.

|
 Europe and Italy- Wednesday
December 31, 2003
From: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mario is a regular serious contributor to this
site and today he is bringing us a little humor. We all know how intense Mario and
his fellow country-men can get but it is equally true that a fine sense of the ideosyncracies
of Italians and their way of life.

a New Year- Tuesday
December 30, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The new year is filled with adventure for
those who follow and support politics in this fair land. The new Conservative Party
is anointing Stephen Harper and the new prime minister will send us all to the polls
in the spring. Ah! just the winter to get through.

 So you got a camera
for Christmas, Now what?- Saturday
December 27, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The magic of picture taking is less than a
positive experience if you expect things to happen without planning and forethought.
This is a bit of advise on how to make the results useful and useable for you.

 May the blessing
of Christmas be with you all- Wednesday
December 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Charles Dickens captured the wonder of Christmas

Tiny Tim "God Bless us everyone."

began and it has been rising ever since. We celebrate this occassion with a set of
29 pictures mostly from the third decade of flight when it became a facility of life
instead of a screwball experiement.

 Christmas baking- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Of course you can go to the bakery but if you
want to give someone something that really means something, make it yourself. How
about some great cinnimon buns?

 Judge Martin’s Cabinet on
the job titles and record, not on map locations- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The very large government set forth by the new
prime minister has many wondering about costs. Knowing that the prime minister watches
the flow of money carefully he has served up a very large platter of government this
means he has two choices, either cut many existing programmes or follow the pattern
he has followed in the past creating excuses to slap on more taxes.

December 15, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
