Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 A pharmaceutical salesman and a lady with a cigarette give us a clue about
this world we live in. A world where we can not ignore the way chemicals play such
an important role in our lives and yet so little is known about their affects on
our individual lives and conditions in our society. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Man orders MP3 player, receives
gun instead (pdf) Chantal Eustace of the Saskatoon Star
Phoenix tells of a Saskatoon college student who got a surprise when the eBay
music player he bought turned out to be a 22 calibre Smith and Wesson.
Interesting that Canada Customs really seemed to shrug the incident off. |

 HomeComing

May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

it comes to planning a vacation that involves not just the whole family but the whole

 Bush’s slippery slope: preemptive wars, violations of international law- Friday
May 7, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There
is no feeling of victory in saying "we told you so" as you have read repeatedly
on this site about privatisation and the misuse of language. Torture is now
defined as "abuse" and one in every ten Americans in Iraq carrying
a gun, is a mercanary, there are more of them than British soldiers. Sadly, this
tragic and for want of a better term, "stupid" situation, must play out
as the United States has plodded its way while being warned, into a point of no return
and they have no exit plan.

May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

 Experimental
Box- Thursday
May 6, 2004
by : John Smith
This is a hacker story as the author goes about creating a computer to try things
out. With spam and worms ravaging computers today we need very badly to explore these
weapons of mass computer destruction in an effort to protect our equipment. What
will be done with this computer you wouldn't want to do with a machine you depend
upon for everyday work.

 Tulips- Thursday
May 6, 2004
by : Albert Eckart
Swift Current :
Spring is flourishing in the south western portion of Saskatchewan and has brought
out some great looking flowers to begin the season.

 Robin
waits for May to show up in Tisdale- Monday
May 3, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Though
Robins have been comfortably living in much of Saskatchewan for up to a month they
have stayed away from Tisdale until Sunday morning when one dropped by our house
and I was able to take his picture a few doors down. This story includes a QuickTime
rendition of a song by the "world's greatest entertainer."

 Al
Jolson- Monday
May 3, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Michael
Jackson, Elvis Prestley, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby all are just pale imitations
of the very first superstar Al Jolson. When records, radio, movies and television
were invented he was there front and centre and he was well aware of his position
in history as he turned to the camera in the first motion picture with sound and
ad-libed "You aint heard nothin' yet."
