Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| We are all told that we are asking for trouble to hide a key under the flower pot
or door matt as it just gives buglars an easy way in but having to get ladder and
go through the bathroom window is pretty embarrassing as well. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Banker stole $3m to buy rare birds. An amazing story
of a English banker who has been caught swindling massive amounts of money from customers. |

 Eduardo Galeano's
deep understanding of U.S. unsecure prosperity: defending the dollar
by sending Marines and by assuming markets - Friday
September 5, 2003
By: Mario deSantis
Mario deSantis wrote this story Wednesday, it is important to note this fact because
today several world economists in an international meeting in Calgary reported their
extreme distress at the US economy which appears not only to be in serious trouble
but is also running up the biggest deficit in recent history. Several US politicans
referred to the growing unemployment and rising debt yesterday while the Dow dropped
84 points today.

 Early Birds- Friday
September 5, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Certainly the season has accellerated with harvest almost complete here but it seems
pretty warm and extremely early for geese who often do not leave until late October,
to be forming up migration flocks.

 Wynyard- Thursday
September 4, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Wynyard is a busy prairie community with industry, tourism and seems to be handling
the assault of urbanised marketing.

house- Thursday
September 4, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
It was some time ago that we posted a series of stories about Saskatchewan court
houses and it is nice to be able to add to this collection. At the bottom of the
page on this story is a link to the other court house pictures done in the past.

 Big g-OIL-vernment- Thursday
September 4, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Spot market pricing / barrell has dropped well below the $30US level but we are seeing
up to 85.9¢ at Saskatchewan pumps. What gives, well Walter Robinson figures
a little help your self by the oil companies is to be expected but the government
taxes on fuel and aviation travel is mean spirited.

 Thoughts on marriage
and same sex marriage- Thursday
September 4, 2003
by: Cassandra Loiselle
Reacting to Barbara Reid's expression of her thoughts on the use of the term "marriage"
in a same sex union Cassandra Loiselle of Winnipeg takes a quite opposing view and
with it quotes one of the greatest poets of the last century. This is not a long
discussion but one you definitely need to read.

September 2, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

Nothing to celebrate- Tuesday
September 2, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington economis Mark Weisbrot explains the decline in the American standard of
living and says that it is a deliberate policy of government and business leaders
in his country. We have added some interesting references to this story and you will
discover he is hardly alone in his assessment of things.

version of QuickTime installed to see this scene.

 The Oshkosh Experience- Friday
August 29, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
This is a first impression of one of the largest aviation events held each year in
the world with over 770,000 people in attendance and 25,000 aircraft. To say it is
overwhelming is an understatement so today's story is an attempt at giving you an
overview of the experience. This story will take time to load as it contains 79
pictures and a QuickTime VR panorama.
