- Beriev Be-103
- Tuesday
September 23, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Oshkosh, Wisconsin: Though the OshKosh AirVenture is
an amateur/homebuilt convention the star of the show this year was a commercial aircraft
designed and build in Russia. This remarkable, low wing, twin engined, amphibian
is simply off the scale in innovation and outstanding engineering. For me this was
the most exceptional aircraft of the thousands to be seen at this incredible event.

Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Computer technology is almost entirely an issue of software and most users run into
trouble when they step outside the boundaries laid out by the creators of the applications
they use. If you start to encounter trouble, avoid pushing yourself to frustration
and confusion. Accept the fact that some things are not going to work for you unless
you seek help. The more you wrestle with a problem that is beyond you, the more likely
you are to transgress into destructive activity that will cost you a lot to repair
the damage and you could lose the most valuable stuff in your computer, the data. |

 IMF and World Bank: the
international business of privatisation- September 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This brief story summarises the underlying
issues that affect the development of the third world which is suppose to be one
of the goals of these American dominated institutions. Check out the references as

of the world.

 Delorme's Steel
& Repair expands, again- Sunday
September 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Since this business began operations it has
been a scene of continous growth demonstrating not only the popularity of this business

 Understanding Bush's bloody dollar and
American foreign policies- Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: You must read this story carefully because
both in Geoffrey Heard's explanation and in the references for this story is the

 Peter MacKay's speech on the
Alliance same-sex motion- Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Peter MacKay
Ottawa: This issue has been emotionalised and taken
to such extremes and it might be useful for us to read a moderate approach to the
issue that has both reason and a desire to see a peaceful resolution come about.
Peter MacKay is leader of the Progressive Conservative party and it is interesting
to note that he has for some years had a close relationship with a Halifax woman
in public but they have chosen not to marry.

 Curiousity Corner Mural- Sunday
September 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The addition of a mural to a blank wall on

- Saturday
September 20, 2003
by: Mark-Allan Whittle
Hamilton: Yesterday Brian Marlatt gave us a much different view
of a possible conservative/alliance merger but Mark-Allan Whittle tells us that Conservatives
should trust Peter McKay and Stephen Harper to bring the two like minded groups together.

- A Walk in the Park
- Friday
September 19, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

to enjoy one of the best places in Tisdale, the trail by St. Theresa Park. This story
includes a QuickTime VR panorama requiring QuickTime to view.

- COALITIONS
CONSIDERED....Again: A Tory's Point of View
- Friday
September 19, 2003
by: Brian D. Marlatt
Vancouver: What matters is how things are done and why,
and for that reason, there is little common ground between the Canadian Alliance
and Progressive Conservatives. Even if a deal is worked out the Canadian public,
the voters, will not accept such a contrivance without substance.

September 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

fund raising events. Today and tomorrow the United Church is holding their huge sale.

 China is growing
by waging peace, the Bush administration is regressing by waging war- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: In this story Mr. deSantis gives you the broad
strokes of something that seems ironic and that is that China is doing well by maintaining
peace with its neighbours. To fully appreciate this concept be sure to look over
the references he has provided you.

 World Trade Organisation Beached in Cancun- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The WTO conference in Cancun was a complete
failure and Mr. Weisbrot points out that this was fully predictable. Clearly, the
purpose of promoting trade has been surplaced with capitalistic merchantile political
issues.

by: Doug Hay

what we need to do about hazzards and plans for upgrading the downtown area. The
pictures of repairs on the area photographed yesterday were taken at 4:30 this afternoon.

 Bureaucrats and expense accounts:
The never-ending feast- Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: It seems goofy spending is a part of government
as yet another expense account scandal is ermerging. A thirty-four year old former
assistant to Heritage minister Sheil Copps seems to have come close to the line of
abusing the money we all send to Ottawa. Walter Robinson has some suggestions about
the problem.
