The splendor of fall
2003- Tuesday
September 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: On this last day of September I took a short
drive into the country and want to share with you the beauty of the colour of the
country-side. This story has two QuickTime Virtual Reality Panoramas
of 1MB each so this page will take a while to open on a dial up connection but the
scenes are worth the wait.

 Alfalfa seed- Tuesday
September 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The crop to be harvested each year is alfalfa
when it is grown for seed. Most of Tisdale's alfalfa goes to the dehydration plant

alfalfa but the fields of alfalfa in seed production are now being harvested.

Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Being able to swim will not help you much in a dust storm and being able to construct
a snow shelter will be of little comfort if you're lost in a jungle. Everything depends
upon location. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Turner not optimistic about world's
future, (PDF) This AP story appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
reported on Ted Turner's speach to a newspaper group in which he said " We
spend $87 billion to blow Iraq up and then we spent another $87 billion to put it
back together, and all to get one man and we still haven't got him," Turner
said "talk about failure." |

 Bridging the divide
of an upsidedown world: Critical thinking with System Dynamics- Monday
September 29, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The devolution of the third world continues
largely orchestrated by the United States as it sells more weapons than any other
country and the gap between rich and poor widens. Perhaps its time to think of this
problem some other way.

 Day of Defeat- Sunday
Sepember 28, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Computer games have made enormous progress
to the point that interactive team play with several people can take place in a shared
virtual reality experience. Saturday a full event of interactive game play took place
with participants working with and against each other in a game simulation of the
Normandy invasion of "D" Day.

or NOW-GO to bureaucracy- Saturday
September 27, 2003

numbers to support the project.

 Exporting the
American democracy in Iraq: The Free Market of Deregulation and Privatization- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mr. deSantis has spotted an interesting inversion
both criminals being placed in power and dogmatic imposition of economic formats
that are site specific. What works in America is not necessarily what will work in
Iraq, Afghanistan to Venezuela. The references on this story are exceptional and
give you an opportunity to explore this topicmuch more fully than an interpretive
summary.

 Washington Pursues
Dangerous Policy in Vernezuela- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The actions of the American government attempting
to desabilise and over throw a democratically elected government is setting a bad
example and could seriously undermine the international relations around the world
including the way countries relate to the United States.

 "As we rush along, are
we running, or being pushed?"- Thursday
September 25, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Insight into the human condition. One way or
another we all wonder what is it all about and where do we go from here. Here are
some clues.

September 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire and Andrew Shire
Oshkosh Wisconsin: An amateur/homebuilt fibre glass,
carbon fibre amphibian sold here in Canada and in New Zealand with one or two engines
and amazing performance. The second most astonishing aircraft at this year's Oshkosh
AirVenture.

 Only the Progressive
Conservatives are facing the issues- Wednesday
September 24, 2003
by: Jason Inness
Calgary: As the Progressive Conservative and Canadian
Alliance negotiate some sort of agreement Jason Inness points out that the federal
Liberal party has been pretty well absent from responding to the series of crisis
facing the country and the Alliance has been wasting time on emotional issues. He
feels only the Progressive Conservatives are dealling with things that really matter.
