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.

Kevin's find of the day

Kevin has a network problem and will be unable to get us his find of the day today.

Ensign Notes

Our summer trip to Oshkosh left us with so many stories to tell. Today is the first aircraft we will feature over the next while, this one being the top of our list.


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 we have included some actual news stories from Dubia with a viewpoint from that part of the world.

Doghide trails, Tisdale's special place
Monday
September 22, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The hiking trails and park area along the Doghide is a place where you can escape to a never never land that is ever changing and always special. This story includes a QuickTime VR panorama (360MB).

The Greenwater report
September 22, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: Fall closes in on the park as Homstols are building a new cabin and Gerald got his boat lift out of the water. All this and more.

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 but of the continued growth and development of the community in which it operates.

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 basic conditions that are allowing the United States to muddle along deeply in debt and still considered the world's strongest economy.

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 main street is a major addition to the communities appearance.

TAG open for business
Saturday
September 20, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Heavy highway hauling truck parts is the specialty at this new parts shop located just East of Bow Mar Sales Ltd.

Conservatives need to have faith in their leadership
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
Tisdale: Fall with colour, light rain and cool temperatures, ideal conditions 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.

St. Paul's Fall Sale
Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Several of Tisdale's churches hold various 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.

Cross country in the rain
Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Area schools launch their cross country running season with today's meet here in Tisdale.

Downtown sidewalks
Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Doug Hay
Tisdale: Yesterday in the story "Unforgiving" there were pictures and information about the poor condition of the sidewalks downtown. Today the town's Economic Development Director explains the lack of wheelchair access, 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.
