The silver time machine- Thursday
October 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale
: The camera in one form or another has been around for more than a century and
a half and during that time the magic of silver crystals have captured the light
and shadows of the past. In those light and shadows we can find significant evidence
of what once was and what life was like when that light was rendered onto paper,
glass or plastic.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 We tell children not to run across a
street, yet adults seem impelled to jog for perhaps the only time they will all day
long, when they move across the street in front of traffic. The reasons not to do
this is a long list, but when the impulse to run hits you, remember the drivers in
the cars and trucks are all sitting down, they can wait. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Farmers
Almanac
The long range weather forecast for Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba gives one
particular take on expected weather for our part of the world. |

Ensign Notes

- Today's perception of democracy:
 understanding
the economics of whims from the economics of needs
- Tuesday
October 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: At the heart of this complex story Mr. deSantis is concerned at the awarding of
the Nobel prize for economics to two rather mundaine professors, one in California
and the other in Arizona. The issue of what is better for the world is really what
this is about and with many outstanding references you have the opportunity in this
story to find out some truths for yourself.

two hills of potatoes weighed thirteen pounds.

 Kerry’s vision of ‘change
position’ and Bush’s vision of ‘certainty’- Wednesday
October 6, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Television commentators would not voice their comments about the success or failure
of each candidate in last week's debate until they got the poll results to tell them
what to think. That one factor tells you almost all there is to know about the American
intellect and their powers of reasoning.
