Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Recording Industry Decries AM-FM Broadcasting as 'A Form of Piracy'
This story from Wired magazine shows just how desparate the recording industry has become as it now is engaging in a conflict with radio broadcasting the very instrument which has been the vehicle for record sales for decades.

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • July 1, Pancake breakfast at the Town square with afternoon festivities beginning at 1:00 at the Museum in Tisdale
 
 

A roof for the Centennial Square stage
Monday
June 30, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A sturdy steel structure has been produced to hold a roof for the stage area in Tisdale's Centennial Square. Produced by Northern Steel Industries the project was installed in place Saturday, June 28th.
Ludicrous 'litmus test'!
Monday
June 30, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: Canada's government is terrified of the United States to the point of refusing to assist a 15 year caught up in the war in Afghanistan. He has been tortured and held at Guantanamo for six years after being nearly killed by US forces and the Americans want to try him on a trumped up murder charge before a military court.
Candle Lake's Blue Ridge Subdivision
Friday
June 27, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Not on is the heat on housing in Saskatchewan towns , villages and cities but there is a growing demand for properties at resort locations as people want a second home at a resort. Here is one such development.
This year's high school harvest
Thursday
June 26, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Today is graduation day in Tisdale as we have reached the end of the school there have been and will be graduations all over Saskatchewan and there will be the usual cliches and speeches compliments of achievement and above all a feeling of expectation. I haven't a single doubt that this year's crop will not be up to the challenges facing them but what we all have to understand its not up to them, we are all in this together.
House fifteen goes on wood foundation
Tuesday
June 24, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Which choice in Afghanistan: "real politik" or not?
Tuesday
June 24, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: We have now discovered that the Canadian government was and is very much aware of the Afghan pipeline. Our problem is a serious one, are the Canadians dying and being maimed in this conflict on the other side of the planet making this sacrifice for American oil interests or the global energy interests of India and Pakistan?
Interesting truck
Monday
June 23, 2008
by: Ken Styan

A conspiracy theory verified? If so?
Monday
June 23, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: This topic has been mentioned as a possible cause of the 9/11 attack, that the US was pushing Afghanistan on building a pipeline and that triggered the attack. Now it is confirmed the war in Afghanistan is to secure the South of the country so it will be safe to build and operate a pipeline over the territory. Canada is now engaged in a commercial war. How do you like that?

June 20, 2008
