Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 "When all is said and done!" What a mythical and totally unrealistic concept. Life and all of reality
is not, despite our desire to arrange it in the form, an episodic existance. There
is a flow, a continuity of reality that merges this moment with the next. This is
why time has become the defining element in modern society. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Jan. 24 called
worst day of the year MSN story by Jennifer
Carlile explains the formula by Welsh psychologist Dr. Cliff Arnall that
determines when folks will be feeling their lowest. The holiday's, New years resolutions,
weather all combine to make January 24 a bummer. |
|
Ensign Notes
|
| The remarkably low productivity on this site for January is a
result of the site's present structure and format so efforts continue to upgrade
the site and reduce the maintenance. |

- A glimpse at today’s shameful role of intellectual property
rights
 Monday
January 24, 2005
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: This is indeed a glimpse of a much larger problem than it would seem at first.
The process of turning everything into "property" of some sort was originally
intended to benefit the few who produced what ever property they were intending to
"own". The problem is this process has backfired and is resulting in intellectual,
economic and social stagnation choking the life out of the society it was intended
to protect.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
January 24, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : It warmed up a bit and Gerald got to clean up some snow and make
an icy trip back from Saskatoon. The coffee circle continues and Brian is clearing
the unwanted scrub around the park.

 Time
to pull the curtain- Friday
January 21, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
Supreme Court of Canada once it listened to the tobacco companies' arguments on hiding
tobacco products from view in Saskatchewan stores ruled in favour of the Saskatchewan
Government overturning a lower court's decision to overturn the Saskatchewan cover
up regulations.
|
 Change- Friday
January 21, 2005
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River
: After thinking about the story on "change not decline" Kevin had some
important things to contribute both from his persective and from the way rural Saskatchewan
is just a former place.
|
 Marriage- Friday
January 21, 2005
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario
: This is a story that simply won't go away as the PM is asked about it in India
by their prime minister and today Mr. Martin showed his contempt for the Opposition
leader when he spoke at a press conference in China and said that he and his government
stand on the Charter and minority rights and would go to an election if need be on
that issue.
|
 Education
and the church- Friday
January 21, 2005
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Public
education was developed not to better the intellect of students but to support a
democratic form of government. Democracy is meaningless if the voter is not able
to be informed and able to reason so schools came into being. The Jesuits had this
figured out centuries before and the battle for the minds of children continues.
Edwin wants assimilation.

 Our
day will come- Thursday
January 20, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This
photo essay shows the ghastly beauty of winter and reflects on the ever present optomism
that often blinds us to appreciating things just as they are. This story includes
KD Lang's version of this outstanding classic song. (QuickTime required)
|
- They Hypothetical Economist Lawrence Summers
- Thursday
January 20, 2005
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: If there was ever a need for proof that the country to the south of us is sinking
into the past, the head of one of their most elevated universities demonstrated an
attitude toward woman that is insulting to half the people on this planet.
|
 Unimog- Wednesday
January 19, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : When it comes to off road trucks the leadership in that field is not made
in North America. The best and most successful is built by Benz and is called the
Unimog.

 Change
not decline- Monday
January 17, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Zellers
closed in Tisdale last September and its huge story in Swift Current closes in February,
they actually will be knocking down the building on the east end of the Swift Current
Mall. Retail in North America is having problems, K-Mart, Zellers, Target, Hudson's
Bay, all are closing outlets trying to find a way to stay in business and SAAN was
purchased by a hack and chop outfit that buys up businesses and then reduces them
to their parts to recover its investment. This is not a retail decline it is a retail
change.
(warning: this is not a brief article)

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
January 17, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Gerald has gone and bought some snow tires, is rejoicing in the so
to re-open Cove and the cold is crimpling his walks in the snow.
|
 Van quest- Sunday
January 16, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : There
is sort of mystery to the function and operation of mechenical devices and since
the play such a vital and seemingly important role in the lives of us all just getting
along from one day to another can be a test, a kind of quest for each and every owner.
|
 Arctic
quest- Friday
January 14, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
west wind is a demon, overwhelming in its power, curel and unrelenting. Only avoidance
and the approach of spring can dampen its affects.
|
 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.

 The Greenwater report- Wednesday
January 12, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :After a trip for Christmas to Alberta Gerald is back bucking the wind
and watching the snow fall as north owls maker their appearance and he is on the
lookout for cardinals.

 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
: Without paying attention to some fundamental issues we can very easily come to
some very confused conclusions. This story attempts to point out some fo those issues.
