a New Year
- Tuesday
December 30, 2003

Edmonton: The new year is filled with adventure for
those who follow and support politics in this fair land. The new Conservative Party

in the spring. Ah! just the winter to get through.

for Christmas, Now what?- Saturday
December 27, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The magic of picture taking is less than a
positive experience if you expect things to happen without planning and forethought.
This is a bit of advise on how to make the results useful and useable for you.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The beef industry in North America is integrated and the rate of BSE has gone up
100%. The words of reassurance from the politicians sound pretty much what the people
in England were told and . . . well you know what happened there. Sounds like chicken,
pork and fish to me. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 The earthquake this past week
that struck the area south of San Francisco was near this small community of Paso
Robles. This is their web
site. |

 Christmas baking- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Of course you can go to the bakery but if you
want to give someone something that really means something, make it yourself. How
about some great cinnimon buns?

 Judge Martin’s Cabinet on
the job titles and record, not on map locations- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The very large government set forth by the new
prime minister has many wondering about costs. Knowing that the prime minister watches
the flow of money carefully he has served up a very large platter of government this
means he has two choices, either cut many existing programmes or follow the pattern
he has followed in the past creating excuses to slap on more taxes.

December 15, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: Winter advances as Greenwater

 The malfeasances of Bush's Free Market:
Halliburton's profits and failure to securitize the Iraqi Army- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Something is very rotten in the state of Iraq
as Vice President Cheney who still gets $400,000 a year from his company Halliburton
each year is charging many times more than a reasonable profit for services and products
while the Iraqi Army looks to be very suspicious. Can anyone say "Vietnam?"
