Electrical- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since automobile manufacturers have devoted
so much of the control of modern vehicles to computer controlled curcuits making
a minor accessory addition is sometimes a rather complex process. This story includes
a 580K QuickTime VR.

 The Queen's Right
to Rule
- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Philip Benwell
Sydney, NSW, Australia : Though we have had a little flap over the Governor Generals
expenses Canadians in general accept the idea of a monarchy. This is not a settled
matter in Australia as a British historian's book has called to question the rightful
heirs to the throne since 1485. Of course the book in typical English nit picking
tradition is baloney since Richard III had gained the throne for his four years of
kingship by murder in the midst of a civil war that he lost wishing he had a horse
(Shakespeare had him saying: "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.")
The history is interesting but not significant. However, in Australia this is a
matter of serious discussion. Be sure to look over the references because the who's
who of it all is a bit complex.

what it was like in this set of pictures.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Beside the very bad example the Irish have set before us
for their stubborn need to perpetuate gruds, on March 17th we can all be Irish for
a day and delight in the music the love of fine literature and the zest for contradictory
opinion. "May you be half an hour in heaven before the devil know's you're dead." |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Parents get their wish and
then some (PDF) Eric Berger of the Houston Chronicle
tells the story of a couple who finally got a baby but the fertility drugs and procedure
resulted in the unusual jackpot of two pairs of identical twins. |

 Breaking horses

March 16, 2004
Mistatim : It is so fitting to have a short story from

 Robert McAdam
1915 - 2004- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : At eight-nine we all know that living this
long is a remarkable achievement and this man, former Anglican priest here in Tisdale
has been an important part of this community since arriving here in 1968. This story
was originally done following an interview with Rev. McAdam in April of 2002. When
he read the piece over he was uncomfortable with the way I had reported some of his
remarks particularly those that related to the Catholic church so I removed the article
from Ensign at the time but the story reflected our discussion that
Tuesday morning two years ago and I think sheds a lot of light on the active mind
and conscientious spirit of this fine man.

 The Bush’s crooked and scary world of
the Free Market: Haiti, Iraq… and more terrorism- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator John
Kerry was overheard muttering that Bush and his associates were crooked and scary.
Mario deSantis points out that this has become an increasingly more crooked and more
scary world each passing day with polarised ideologies even more dangerous than the
days of the Cold War.

 The Bush administration breaks international
laws: First with the war against Iraq and now with the ousting of Haitian
President Aristide- Wednesday
March 10, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The president of Haiti says he was forced out of
office by the Americans and the US Secretary of State Colin Powell says he wasn't
but then Mr. Powell thinks every truck in pre-war Iraq was a weapons factory. International
law is real but the United States has chosen over and over to ignore any responsibility
to the world and how things are legally done.

March 9, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
