Mac Mini just another piece in the revolution
or evolutionary puzzle- Wednesday
January 12, 2004
by : Timothy W. shire
Tisdale : The
information age, the electronic age, the age of automation all terms that suggest
that we are living in a time when things have changed. They have but we aren't there
yet as each critical part of the whole picture is coming into focus. As you are reading
this on a computer screen you are yourself part of that revolution and it is a complex
combination of hardware, software and user acceptance and capability.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 With two more Alberta cows testing positive
for BSE, if you're not feeling uncomfortable you should be. Government officials
are "downplaying" the gravity of these sick cows but it is time that we
became more than a little alarmed. You must realise that a few more cases and it
will be clear that the Alberta herd must be eliminated. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Florida Preacher
dies during sermon. ABC News was just one
of the dozens of news outlets that carried this Associated Press story about
sixty-nine yeear-old Rev. Jack Arnold who died Sunday during his sermon. He had by=pass
surgery five years ago and died instantly of a massive heart attack. |

Ensign Notes
|
| There is always lots of material to post on this site but there
are not always the pictures to make the site what it is intended to be so I put off
posting and my procrastination builds up. |

 Yorkton
Harvest start the new year with 4 - 1 win over the Tisdale Trojans- Friday
January 7, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : For
the last ten minutes of play Yorkton barely touched the puck as the Trojans tried
to get back into a game they had lost in the first two periods. Great effort but
no cigar. The stands were full of loyal fans and though their team lost it was a
thriller right to the last second.

 Winter
City- Thursday
January 6, 2005
by: Timothy W. Shire
Regina : Regina's
hardy residents are attempting to handle the challenge of winter pretty well as they
have had a bit of snow between Christmas and New Years and then to start the New
Year some crisp temperatures. Today they have temperatures in the teens and are likely
to become confused.

 The
Breaking of some Myths for 2005 and beyond- Thursday
January 6, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert

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

 Swift

January 5, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Swift Current

and all of us can look forward to the days, weeks and years to come.

 2005
as it looks from here- Wednesday
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.
|
 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.

- Wednesday
December 22, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert :
Last week the Administration of the United States government held a conference on

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.
