Tim's Tip of the Day
If there is someone in your family who is a hockey player or wants to be a hocckey player it is worth your while to make a pilgrammage to the Hockey Life store. There is one in Winnipeg and it has everything in every size and at a full price range. Amazing place. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)
Find of the day
Warning to Glenn Beck: Don't drink Diet Coke Here is a rather scary report on the dangers of the most commonly used artificial sweetener. Though this story seems authentic it would be wise to give it some thought and do some additional research into the issue. Nutrasweet is in so many foods it is pretty hard to avoid.

October 5, 2010

by: Eugene Parks
: Victoria, British Columbia: Its the talk on every news show on radio and television as the a private members bill and the Federal government are determined to get rid of the long gun registry.

Things are wet: Tuesday
September 14, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire
: Tisdale: Wet spring, wet summer and now wet once again as we go into fall. Crops not planted, those crops that were put in the ground grew poorly and many ploughed under now what crops that have been swathed and are awaiting harvest are soaking in the field. When looking for a bright side rice comes to mind but it has been to cold for that to have grown maybe farmers should consider wild rice for next year.
