Tisdale's hospital and nursing home at 11:41 this morning
Winter is like dust
Thursday
November 25, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The ducks and geese fly south and some of us Canadians make a quick dash for a holiday in the sun but for most, the trees, the grass, the ravens and the majority tied to their work and lives here, winter is to be endured and perhaps even enjoyed for indeed it certainly makes us appreciate the non-winter portion of the year.

Tim's Tip of the Day

The Co-operative movement became popular as a result of the depression of the 1930s. It remains a stabilising and positive part of the Western Canadian market place. Oddly enough, despite its wide based and controlled ownership the food retail focus is not on healthy low sugar, low salt nutritional foods. The Co-op house brands are very much just the opposite.

Find of the day

Harman call to tackle global violence against women

A Labour Party politician called on the British government to appoint a women to the cabinet as Foreign Secretary.  All over the world women are being killed, raped and abused. In the Congo it is more dangerous to be a woman than be a soldier.

Happenings In Tisdale:

Wednesday
November 24, 2010
by: Darlene McCullough

Give them a one month time out

Victoria, British Columbia: North Korea's unprovoked artillary attack on a South Korean island killed two soldiers and two civilians while pushing China and United States into a confrontation over their client states. This is serious stuff and there is a definite need for some cooling off before steps toward a war are taken.
The Greenwater report
Monday
November 22, 2010
by: Gerald Crawford

 
Saskatoon: Gerald and Doreen enjoyed Sunday's game and were out to the theatre a couple of times. Looks like Greenwater Lake has not yet frozen over but it is getting there. Meanwhile the Crawfords are getting the miles in at the Field House.
1960 Chevrolet Impala
Friday
November 19, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Looking at this fifty year old car reminds us how conservative automotive design has become especially when you consider that the 1960 Chevrolet was considerably toned down from the over the top 1959 version. At the time the GM cars were all much less flamboyant than the Chrysler machines with their huge vertical fins, torsion bar suspension and push button transmissions..
Technological overload and the iPad
Thursday
November 18, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Regular readers of this web site will have noticed that in the last two month we have reduced the number of weekly posts to two or sometimes only one a week. Two factors have contributed to this situation. The first is the editor's insatiable appetite for world news and the second is the remarkable tool for exploration of the world's media, the Apple iPad. There just isn't enough time to read it all and still get an Ensign issue posted.
Winter has settled in
Tuesday
November 16, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: it has been -7ºC for all of today and off and on there has been just a light dusting of snow. Interesting but the robot of Environment Canada's station in Nipawin did not notice the snow, but it was about an inch and a half during the day. This is winter, with snow and ice everywhere.
Remembering the future
Wednesday
November 10, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Each November we wear poppies on the left lapel of our jackets and the news media tells war stories and talks a lot about ultimate sacrifices. But Remembrance Day gets caught up in the attempt by everyone who thinks about it as we try to find a way to celebrate a part of life that really and truly is more about regret and incredible waste of lives. At the same time, we force ourselves to try to get a glimpse into the mindset of those who serve.
