some very confused conclusions. This story attempts to point out some fo those issues.

December 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
tradition continues of taking time at the end of the year to look both forward and
back and reflect upon what may be expected.
|
 "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.

 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.

December 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale

will mention a number of things but it is almost certain that all will have hockey
some where on their list.

- 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
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.
