“The best remedy for those who are afraid,
lonely or unhappy is to go outside,
somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel
that all is as it should be.”
~ Anne Frank

Television
Shows on
Your Terms
(NC) As school and work
commitments take over
your calendar now that
summer is coming to an
end, don’t give up the relaxation of your screen time.
Modern technology is on
your side.
According to a recent innovation report from Rogers Communications, Canadians have adapted their
TV viewing style to cater
to their busy schedules and
that means watching it on
their terms. People are no
longer watching new shows
just from the comfort of
their living room: 42 per
cent of Canadians say they
are watching on their smartphones and 23 per cent on
their tablets. Rogers points
out that the mobile device
has become the ultimate
second screen for entertainment viewing with applications, such as Anyplace TV,
making it easier to effortlessly stream popular series
and sporting events on the
go or on any screen.
If they are not using their
smartphones and tablets to
view content, they’re using one of these devices
while watching television
to look up information online, monitor social media
activity or text friends. The
report identifies these viewers as “multiscreen taskers”. While glued to the
tube, multiscreen taskers
can occupy themselves with
work emails, respond to
friends online or organize
their calendar of commitments – all from the device
of their choice. And, 10 per
cent of them have admitted
to watching content in the
bathroom, or at work.
“Canadians have an insatiable appetite for compelling content and technology
is driving a transformation
in how we consume entertainment,” said David
Purdy, the senior vice-president of content at Rogers.
“We’ve become entertainment multi-taskers, using
smartphones and tablets to
stream content, and to stay
plugged into social media.”
After missing the real-time
broadcast, some viewers
stay updated on their favourite TV series by watching
on demand, watching the
recording on their PVR or
even watching the show
season in its entirety. The
majority of Canadians have
admitted to being TV marathoners watching three or
more TV episodes at a time.
This season, we are not
only anticipating the new
fall TV lineup, we can now
do it now on numerous
screens. Autumn’s breakout stars will be making an
appearance on more smartphones and tablets than ever
before.

Things You Should Know About Saskatchewan
The Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is in the
extreme southwest corner
of the province, sharing a
border with Alberta's half
of the park. Historical Fort
Walsh as well as the highest
point in the province can be
found in the Cypress Hills.
Hockey is taken very seriously in Saskatchewan, and
matches can be extremely
intense, as well as entertaining. Prince Albert, Moose
Jaw, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Regina all host
teams in the Western Hockey League, the top level of
the NHL's developmental
system.
Be sure to check out historical sites relating to the
settlement of the west and
the North West Rebellion
of 1885. Fort Carlton, Batoche, and Duck Lake ae
within distance of Saskatoon for a day trip.
A very passionate pastime for Saskatchewan
residents is to cheer on their
Canadian Football League
team: The Saskatchewan
Roughriders.
Saskatchewanians are known for their
loyalty and "Rider Pride".
A Rider game is always
party and spectacle as many
of the fans show up to the
game wearing watermelons
on their heads!
A Wolf Adventure is a
Provincially licensed, Canadian based wolf outreach
/eco lodge that fosters and
promotes a healthy respect
of wildlife and surrounding habitat. A Wolf Adventure is home to some Gray
wolves of various subspecies including the elusive
and rare Arctic wolf. A Wolf
Adventure strives to foster
an appreciation, not just
of a highly misunderstood
rarely seen wild animal, but
most importantly the natural wild lands.
Saskatchewan is also
the home of the RCMP
Academy, Depot Division
(commonly known as "Depot"; that has been providing police training to Royal
Canadian Mounted Police
"cadets" since its establishment in 1885. The facility is
in the west part of Regina,
Saskatchewan, near the airport, and consists of several
buildings. The RCMP Heritage Centre is located right
next to the RCMP Training
Academy at 5907 Dewdney
Avenue. Through the use
of permanent and temporary exhibits, multimedia
technologies, and extensive
programming, the Heritage
Centre tells the RCMP story
and educates Canadians and
the world about the past,
present and future of the
RCMP within Canada and
abroad.
Drinking age in Saskatchewan is 19. Great
Western Brewing operates
the old Molson brewhouse
in Saskatoon. They produce
beers ranging from extragravity malt liquor to mid
grade amber and pale ales.
There is a provincial law
basically giving anyone that
operates a “brewpub” automatic off sales privileges.
Because of this, many bars
have started extract-based
“brewpubs” in order to acquire their off-sales license.
These beers are very poor
quality compared to beers
made from true ingredients. In small towns, locals
prefer cheap beer and rye
whiskey. One local favourite is Old Style Pilsner, a
no-frills brew with a most
unique label. Water quality
in Saskatchewan ranges but
is generally above average.
Saskatchewan is generally a safe place to visit and
most people are generally
friendly. Some parts of the
larger cities, such as Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince
Albert, have seedier areas
that should be avoided at
night. Most tourists have no
need to be in those parts of
town anyway.
Winters can be extremely
cold, and when combined
with heavy snowfall and
wind, blizzards can make
driving dangerous. Many of
Saskatchewan’s highways
have been poorly maintained, and when combined
with icy pavement or heavy
traffic, they can be dangerous for inexperienced or
inattentive drivers. Many
rural roads are unpaved,
so drivers unfamiliar with
gravel roads should take
their time.
