Irene (Dressler) Brennan 1915 – 2018
When the going gets tough the tough get going sums up Irene's life, though you'd never know it from her diminutive frame, graceful style and sweet nature. Born in 1915 she was proud to claim Armourdale as her birthplace and Wyandotte County as home. She met Mickey at Bishop Ward High School, they later married and became charter members of Christ the King Parish. Exemplifying generosity, she took in relatives when the flood ravaged their homes and epitomizing fortitude, she went to work in Mickey's place following his horrific car accident in 1955. Soon after, their eldest daughter was diagnosed and later died of leukemia. Though heartbroken, Irene mourned privately and persevered. Breaking her neck in 2008 was just another misfortune taken in stride.
She outlived six siblings, husband "Mickey", and daughter Pat, son-in-law Gary Kloster, many nieces, nephews and a multitude of friends. She is survived by daughters Janet Kloster and Debbie Mishler and sons Mike (Mary) and Dennis, 15 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Effortlessly, Irene humbly set an example of quiet strength and grit for the brood of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren that were her world. She enjoyed bargain hunting, crafting and quarter slots. We are thankful to have had her with us these 103 years. She now joins dear Pat from whom she has been separated far too long. Irene, sweet soul, always the caregiver with an unwavering love of and dedication to family. Her prayers finally answered, she rests peacefully now as we hand her over to God's care. But we will miss her so.
Unending thanks and blessings to her caregivers Denise, Ericka, Charlotte, Rudene, Dr. Birch, Vitas Hospice and the Sisters Servants of Mary. In lieu of flowers, family suggest donations in her name directed to the Sisters Servants of Mary, Kansas City, Kansas or the Leukemia Society.
The family shall receive friends, Monday, 5:30-7:30 PM., December 3, 2018 at the Mary Butler Meyers Funeral Home, 6300 Parallel Pkwy., Kansas City, KS. 66102 with the Rosary, 7:10 PM. A mass of Christian burial will be 11:00 AM, Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at Christ The King Catholic Church, 53rd and Leavenworth Rd., Kansas City, KS. 66104. Burial will be Mr. Calvary Cemetery, 38th & State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.
If you thought the Depression was not worth mentioning because "everyone was poor" - you might be as humble as Irene
If you treated each of your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren equally – you might be as fair minded as Irene
If you ride across the states with 4 children, no A/C, only AM radio, and a husband straddling the center line all the way to Colorado and California entertaining your kids with games of Auto Bingo, Tic Tac Toe and Hangman - you might be as resilient as Irene.
If you could win at the boats almost every time - you might be as lucky as Irene
If you could recognize every single person that attended your 100th birthday party – some you had not seen in decades - you might be as astute as Irene
If you could perform daily squats and exercises well into your 90's – you might be as determined at Irene.
If your nickname in high school was Cookie – you might have been as sweet as Irene
If you could solve the Wheel of Fortune puzzles quicker than anyone - you might be as clever as Irene.
Sharp minded with a heart of gold.

I remember the first time I heard John Mark McMillian's debut indie CD, HOPE ANTHOLOGY vol.1 (you can buy it for a reasonable price HERE). It was later Summer '02, & I was coming off of a multi-month Wilco-induced musical high brought on by the brilliance of YANKEE FOXTROT HOTEL and John Mark's artsy indie-folk was just what the doctor ordered. A couple years later I was one of the early-adopters who introduced "How He Loves" as a corporate worship song (thanks in part to the encouragement of Kelanie Gloeckler) years before the "sloppy wet kiss" controversy burned like wildfire through the church, much to my surprise: my only concern was the song's wordiness, but it moved me to tears every single time I led it – even listened to it – so I didn't really much concern myself with the debate.

Double Review: Aaron Keyes & David Walker
For the sake of honesty, I'm reviewing these two CDs because I am friends with their creators. I admit that – to a degree – I may be biased by the fact that I personally love the hearts behind these songs. That said, I truly believe that – whether or not I knew either one – I would still consider these two of my favorite worship CDs of 2011. [Read more…]
REVIEW: Sojourn – The Water and the Blood
ARTIST: Sojourn
RELEASE: The Water and the Blood: the Hymns of Isaac Watts Vol. II
LABEL: Independent
I've been listening to Sojourn Community Church's music since 2006, when they were still mostly unknown outside their home-base of Louisville, KY. Upon first listen I was struck by a number of things: these folks are creating music missionally, in a style that connects directly with their community, not following fads or fashions to get radio play or label attention. Secondly, they care about doctrine, and history, crafting songs that express and pay homage to not only where the church may be headed, but where it's been. Lastly, their music consistently manages to be modern, paradoxically, by being so faithful to crafting genuinely timeless songs. [Read more…]
REVIEW: Elevation Worship – "Kingdom Come"
ARTIST: Elevation Worship
RELEASE: "Kingdom Come"
I'll admit it: I'm not familiar with Elevation Church's past worship CDs – I've never heard anything they've written or released prior to "Kingdom Come". I can't say that it's a step forward or back. So, from this fairly limited perspective, I will give my rather one-sided opinion.
If you are tired of the Coldplay-inspired, Hillsong United sound (well, until their new CD – they abandoned that sound themselves!), then you may want to pass on this, as well-produced as it is (and it sounds GREAT – open, expansive – plenty of breathing room for the instruments), it fits firmly within the Hillsong United/Planet Shakers/Generation Unleashed/Alm UK territory, and doesn't pull any surprises there.

REVIEW: Brian Wurzell – GRACE OCEAN
Artist: Brian Wurzell
Release: Grace Ocean
Highlights: "Grace Ocean", "Great Redeemer" – other notables included "Sing", & "Floodgates"
Brian Wurzell, the Worship Arts Director at Hillside Community Church inRancho Cucamonga, CA (formerly at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Chandler, AZ), has delivered to us a refreshingly unique, modern rock worship album. GRACE OCEAN subtly tips its hat to indie-rock bands like Pedro the Lion and Starfler 59, while never becoming inaccessible.
Obvious corporate highlights (take note, fellow worship leaders) are the hook-laden title track, which is pure ear candy (Can a "worship song" also be "ear candy"? I guess so. See exhibit A: "Grace Ocean"), and the mid-tempo ballad "Great Redeemer" – a prayer that God would "take our weakness and show Yourself strong". [Read more…]

["This one felt amazing." Read about the Warriors' triumph, and the Rockets' heartbreak.]
OAKLAND, Calif. — There was a game at Oracle Arena, the clunky old building that squats tight to the old Erector Set of a coliseum, two time capsules next to a freeway. Inside, the lights glared and the scoreboard flashed, and the capacity crowd roared for another runaway victory by the Golden State Warriors.
A day later, there was a tour of the team's new home in San Francisco, Chase Center, its swirling facade wedged into the cocoon of glassy new skyscrapers. Inside, the light was cavelike dim and hard hats were mandatory. The few installed seats were covered in protective plastic, and the only sounds were the beeps, whirs and bangs of construction equipment.
"We're not leaving a city," the Warriors' team president, Rick Welts, told reporters invited along. "Just a building."
The Warriors, two-time defending N.B.A. champions, winners of three of the last four titles, are paddling for one more in Oakland against an undercurrent of change and the foreboding sense that these good old days are ending.
All dynasties fade, even those — especially those, maybe — building new temples for themselves.
The Warriors finished off the Houston Rockets on Friday in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series, guaranteeing another round — the Western Conference finals — for Oracle Arena, the team's home for nearly five decades.
The Warriors' move after this season comes amid concerns about an aging roster, the future contract status of the star forward Kevin Durant and others, and creaks in the team's run of exuberant dominance. Most meaningful, the Warriors are wading through the churning gulf between Oakland and San Francisco.
From one night's game at Oracle Arena this spring to the next afternoon's tour at Chase Center, the distance felt far wider than the 10 miles or so across the bay, as the sea gull flies, or the 16 miles and $7 toll through the knots of traffic across the Bay Bridge.
The Warriors, understandably, want people to think that location does not matter. They will always be the Bay Area's team, they say.
But it does matter. Of course it matters. And it matters most to Oakland, where the Warriors have played for 47 seasons.
"They can spin it any way they want, wrap it in any wrapping paper they want, but when there has been an intimate relationship for years, and then you move, it changes everything," said Paul Brekke-Miesner, the author of "Home Field Advantage: Oakland, CA — The City That Changed the Face of Sports" and a lifelong Oakland resident.
"Ten miles, 20 miles — the bay might as well be 1,000 miles."
Can something move and remain the same? Can anything be replanted without changing the landscape?
No place tries like California, a mind-set as much as a place. California always leans toward reinvention. It is closer to the future than anywhere else. Nothing feels permanent, even without earthquakes and fires. So it is with the Warriors.
It is so California to come up with something cool and coveted, and at its peak try to lift it to something bigger and better, risking all that made it cool in the first place.
It is why In-N-Out Burger expanded to Texas, why Levi's made Dockers, why skateboarding is joining the Olympics.
Will Apple, with origins in a suburban garage, ever be as loved as it was before it grew big enough to build a $5 billion headquarters that looks like a spaceship? Will the San Francisco skyline ever be as beautiful as it was before the Salesforce Tower rose like a middle finger to the city's low-slung aesthetic, amid a rising fist of preening (and leaning) towers?
The Warriors did not need to leave the grit of Oakland for the gloss of San Francisco. They chose to do so. Like most franchise leaps to new homes, it is a move borne of vanity, dressed as necessity.
What will Oakland lose when the Warriors move to San Francisco?
"I'll answer it with a question," Brekke-Miesner said. "What will the Warriors lose?"
The franchise worries about any perception that it is abandoning Oakland. It says that roughly 70 percent of current season-ticket holders have bought into the new building, which is privately financed on private land, despite price increases and expensive seat licenses.
"Substantially we are keeping the same crowd," Welts argued. It will take until next season to figure out how much the remaining 30 percent is missed, or what and where it represented.
At the regular-season finale, on April 7, the team celebrated its Oakland heritage. Former stars like Rick Barry and Sleepy Floyd were on hand. The Oakland Symphony performed during a historical montage. After the game, the team raised a banner to the Oracle Arena rafters that read, "Oakland, California, 47 Seasons." It, too, will move to Chase Center.
To help keep a physical presence in the East Bay, the Warriors will convert their downtown Oakland headquarters and practice facility into a community center. It will house nonprofit organizations and youth basketball camps.
"You heard it here first: The Warriors are not leaving Oakland!" Mayor Libby Schaaf said at a March ceremony.
Maybe Oakland already lost them — to success. For most of five decades, the Warriors were habitual losers loved only by the most faithful, an alliance of geography.
These days, you can find someone wearing a Warriors logo in any city in the world.
"There's nothing particularly unique about being a Warriors fan — they're not the town's team anymore," said Liam O'Donoghue, whose podcast, East Bay Yesterday, explores culture in and around Oakland. "They're, like, the world's team. I don't know if that makes them less cool. But it makes them less Oakland."
By this time next year, there will be one main franchise left in Oakland: Major League Baseball's Athletics, who, after decades of unrealized wanderlust, will stay behind, with plans to build anew on the Oakland waterfront. The N.F.L.'s Raiders are headed to Las Vegas.
Of course, Oakland would love to keep its teams, but not at the financial and moral costs of today. The corporate and gentrified world of professional sports no longer fits neatly in places as diverse and independent as Oakland.
N.B.A. revenues topped $8 billion last year, according to Forbes, and the Warriors are worth $3.5 billion — more than seven times the $450 million that a group led by Joe Lacob and Peter Guber paid in 2010. Perhaps a move to a $1.3 billion arena in San Francisco is fitting, considering it has more billionaires per capita than any other city.
Not so fast, said Pendarvis Harshaw, a writer and public-radio arts columnist raised and living in Oakland.
"The N.B.A. tries to sell cool, sell hip, sell urban," Harshaw said. "The N.B.A. tries to sell Oakland."
Oakland has a rich history of producing artists and athletes, including basketball players like Bill Russell, Paul Silas, Jason Kidd and Gary Payton.
True adoration is reserved for the ones who stay true to their Oakland roots. It is why M.C. Hammer, Rickey Henderson, Marshawn Lynch and Damian Lillard, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, a Warriors rival, remain so popular. The film director Ryan Coogler could run for mayor after setting key scenes of "Black Panther" in his native Oakland.
The Warriors' co-owners — one whose success was spawned in Silicon Valley, the other's in Hollywood — are eager to tap into the riches and reputation of boom-time San Francisco, even with its vast inequality and homeless problems.
Some say those problems have created a spillover effect in Oakland, where there are intense worries about gentrification, housing costs and an erosion of the city's identity.
West Oakland, for example, a historically black neighborhood between downtown and the Bay Bridge, was once the home of Russell, and of baseball legends like Frank Robinson and Curt Flood, who attended high school together in the 1950s. It's increasingly abuzz with tech workers, many commuting to the skyscraper forest swallowing up the Warriors across the bay.
The franchise arrived in the Bay Area in 1962, from Philadelphia, and claimed San Francisco for its name. The Warriors resided mostly at the Cow Palace in Daly City, just over San Francisco's southern city limit.
They played some games at Oakland's new arena during the 1967-68 season. They moved across the bay full time a few years later (with one notable return during the 1975 N.B.A. finals, forced by the Ice Follies) and changed the name of the franchise from "San Francisco" to the more collective "Golden State."
That still gnaws in Oakland. They were never the Oakland Warriors.
Draymond Green, a Warriors forward, toured the new building this spring with Welts, the team president, and about a dozen members of the news media. Green was about 30 minutes late — traffic from the East Bay.
Welts and Green stood in the bowl of the new arena, gazing up at the empty air where the giant scoreboard will hang. It took imagination to see where the court would be, where the benches and baskets would be.
Welts pointed out that the Chase Center capacity will be 18,064, about 1,000 seats smaller than Oracle Arena. The ceiling is lower than in a lot of new arenas, he said, to help give Chase Center the acoustics and intimacy of Oracle Arena.
In some ways, many ways, the Warriors want fans to feel as if they never left. But injecting a new building with the old atmosphere is an impossible trick for a sports team.
The Warriors, playing both offense and defense, spent the season promoting the move while trying to be respectful of their past. Steve Kerr, the team's head coach, has used the final season in Oakland as daily motivation — "finishing the right way and doing it for Oakland," he says.
Then — poof — the Warriors will reappear in September, 10 miles or 1,000 miles away.
What will Oakland lose when the Warriors move to San Francisco?
Answer that with a question: What will it gain?
It gets the good old days, the best of days and the sweet nostalgia unique to cities and arenas left behind. No one takes that away.
And it gets the satisfaction that it handed over something at its apex, something cool and substantial that San Francisco did not create, and probably never could have, and might not ever capture.

Here's what I see concerning the future:
Your phone will be your computer, your tv remote, your car starter, your house remote, etc. You will sit down to your TV/Computer screen and turn on your TV with your cell phone. You will pick up your I-Pad and interact with the screen. Your TV program will be playing a show and you will be in contact with other people watching the same show. – Let's take a football game. You will be chatting with the other people while watching the game. The announcer will be announcing the game while checking the chat line that is connected with the game. He will be responding to those on that chat line while announcing the game. If you want to replay anything you'll be able to do it while staying in real time from your I-Pad which is in sync with your TV. While watching the game you decide to check in on your little one sleeping. You click on the nanny cam and see that he's still asleep. Your teen daughter is suppose to be at the store. You click on her GPS signal and find she's where she's suppose to be. It's half time during the game and you want to check your cars "stats". You hit your "car" button and find that your oil is just a little low. Your wife sees a commercial and likes the product, she picks up her I-Pad and gets more details and buys the item. Your boss told you it was your weekend to watch the Job site. You click onto the job site video system and see all is ok. You check the messages left at work and forward the messages to the other co-workers. The half time is over and you switch back to the game. You manage to get a great in play action picture from the football game and send it to all your friends on Facebook.
How do you see the future in the area of technology?

There is a simple rule in AngularJS that trips up many people because they simply aren't aware of the rule. The rule is that every module has two phases, aconfiguration phase and a run phase. During the configuration phase you can only use service providers and constants, but during the run phase you only have access to services, and not the service providers.

I'm back! To Brickonicle, at least. It's been so long, I forgot how to spell "Artakha." I've finally thought of a pitch I actually liked, and apologize in the fact that I'm probably crossing into a lot of pre-established or pre-pitched territory here. But I did it anyways!
The Cendox has been around essentially since the motor was invented. Finding that strapping on a wheel to a sand sled created a fast and powerful vehicle, the Montanans quickly sold their product for some quick profits to Mangai and Ihu, where the terrain allowed for such a bike. Often used for solo travel, delivery, and racing, the Cendox is one of the oldest vehicles without a required steed. Despite its speed and acceleration perks, it is fragile, weak, and small. Even gangs rarely use them for battle, though it is not unheard of for a swarm of Cendox to overwhelm a passing merchant or noble.
Many of the ground vehicles on this list were built by Motarans, but not the Baranus. Used in the ancient wars of Mangai, tamed Ash Bears were used to haul these chariots across the volcanic battlefield. Based entirely on the strength and speed of the steed, Baranuses (Barani?) varied greatly in capabilities. Inspired by the Mangaians, Motara also built their own versions, pulled by beetles and other animals, and held races. Now, the Baranus has been greatly retired across Artakha, but could still be found in the rare race, or used for Mangaian ceremonies. The Cavalry, an elite ground of Mangaian soldiers, pride themselves in the ways of the old age, and still use the Baranus in battles.
Built by an old Motaran King as a wedding gift to his daughter and her husband, the Kaxium was invented simply for travel. It is often teased as being a "couple's bike" and has become almost forgotten due to its unpopularity among any region besides Motara. It can hold only two passengers, and is slow, at least compared to the Cendox and Thornatus. However, it is often modified and used in gangs much like a motorcycle and sidecar, and merchant kings often hold Kaxium-only races to encourage teamwork in the community. It holds together much better than the Cendox and is one of the sturdiest vehicles to date.
The Thornatus is an example of Motara's finest in vehicle engineering. Invented by crime families in the past, it has since been fine-tuned and reworked by the rich into the powerhouse it is today. When asked about the load, a Motaran will often answer, "As much as you can fit on it." Strong, fast, and tough, the Thornatus is nearly overused. Repurposed for delivery, travel, gangs, battle, and cross-island, this vehicle is one of many achievements the civilized parts of Motara are proud of. Though not as sturdy as the Kaxium, the Thornatus isn't as prone to wear and fragility as the Cendox.
The only vehicle in Motara with a legend rather than a story. It has been told that in the days of old, a small village resting on the eastern border of Motara was commonly attacked by vicious beasts called "Skopio." The village cursed Ketar, as they believed he had fed them to these beasts that routinely fed on their crops and devoured their families. One day, a brave engineer decided to flee no longer. Believing he was chosen by Ketar (what an honor) to free his people, the man began talking apart homes and machines. When asked what he was doing, he simply answered, "Saving us all." Soon, some other engineers joined him, and the other citizens provided materials. Working together, the village eventually created it: the first Skopio. Named after its prey, the Skopio was a massive structure, nearly twice as large as a living Skopio, and with room for the entire village inside. When the creatures attacked again, they were greeted by a massive version of themselves. Debating whether or not it was even alive, some Skopio decided to make it their king, as other decided to eat it. In their disunity, the village hiding inside activated the machine, and began the battle. Attacking Skopios were welcomed by powerful cannons or shielded armor, keeping them out. Those who retreated eventually starved in their caves. In the end, the village rebuilt their homes, knowing that the Skopio were gone. Feasting on the beasts that had tortured their land for so long, the people never went hungry. Making the engineer their king, it is told that he was one of the first, original merchant kings in Motara.
Present day, the Skopio had never spread as well as the Thornatus, but remains popular for the wealthy gang leaders that use them as mobile thrones. Its transformation, created by the redesigners, is firm and bulky, but slower than even the Kaxium. With no purpose besides combat, the Skopio remains hidden in the sheets of blueprints and the minds of many until it is needed again.
I will create pitches for the air vehicles of 2008 later.
Interesting world building on the Motaran industrialists...I would go a bit further to assert that motorized vehicles are almost exclusively used by the wealthy and military classes of Motara (e.g. Merchant Kings probably hire natives to act as bodyguards or overseers in addition to the occasional services by Dark Hunters)
I could totally see the Tiroans taming a few Ash Bears to pull chariots for military and possibly for sport. Maybe all the land-based regions all had their own variations of chariot races and gladiator fights, not unlike the Glatorian in G1. Naho I imagine would have an aquatic version of the sport, but not intended to solve any political or monetary disputes, just for sport. Kanae might have something like this with Gukko birds, but probably acts as something more akin to a dogfight than actual sport.
Perhaps Kanaeans have invented Gukko chariots that fly on levitation Kanoka that the Motari merchants living along the Forest Gate used before they were outmoded by modern Tiroan engineered airships invented by a certain inventor...
It's a good pitch, but isn't Brickonicle cancelled?
It's in a status of hibernation.
So as good as canceled, because we all know it wasnt going to last forever.
I'm not giving up hope; if someone creates a very interesting pitch, I feel it may at least get a discussion, if not a show...
eh, i'm not into the idea of the Matorans having every day advanced vehicles to drive around in on the Island of Artakha when the main story takes place. Not to say that they never had such vehicles, just that they don't have them during the era of the current users of the Toa titles.
See, in my ideas on how the G3 story goes, such vehicles were common during the time before the Brother's clash with each others and then later imprisonment by the Toa of that age. These vehicles were one of the many creations of the seventh City, the City of Lightning. But after the Toa imprisoned the brothers, the city was abandoned and all of it's advanced technology was belived lost forever.
In the current era of G3, some of these technological wonders are dug up and studied as ancient artifacts, with some even trying to get them to work again or just modifies them to work differently, like for example the Baranus could be one such example of an ancient vehicle modified to be used differently by the Matorans of today, while vehicles like the Skopio are put on display in museums because they are just too big to be modified and highly difficult to get in working condition again.
Some matorans do not like these artifacts of the City of Lightning and tries to destroy as many as they can find, out of fear that they are too dangerous to be used ever again.
Nuparu would be one of the more well known Matorans who studies these ancient vehicles and has created some incredible machines on his own based on what he has learned, some of the more well known ones being the Boxors.
I dunno, if we are going to pitch it as system we may as well add vehicles, that's kind of a staple of LEGO system themes

BRUSSELS — The European Union on Tuesday congratulated incoming British Prime Minister Boris Johnson but was firm that it would not heed his election promises of renegotiating Brexit.
The bloc's executive European Commission was willing to work with Johnson, a spokeswoman said, but the limits were clear.
"We look forward to working constructively with PM Johnson when he takes office, to facilitate the ratification of the withdrawal agreement and achieve an orderly Brexit," said the bloc's negotiator of the unprecedented divorce, Michel Barnier.
"We are ready also to rework the agreed declaration on a new partnership," he added, referring to a political declaration that accompanies the legal withdrawal agreement.
Minutes before Johnson's victory was announced in the Conservative Party leadership contest, the Commission's deputy head Frans Timmermans said the EU would not agree to change the deal it had sealed with outgoing British leader Theresa May. That deal was rejected three times by the British parliament.
"The United Kingdom reached an agreement with the European Union and the European Union will stick to that agreement," Timmermans told a news conference. "This is the best deal possible."
Timmermans said the EU would hold the line on Brexit and that Johnson's flamboyant "character or persona or attitude" made no difference.
The EU is bracing for a no-deal Brexit, or another delay to Britain's departure, should Johnson follow through on his promises as Britain's leader.
"We will hear what the new prime minister has to say when he comes to Brussels," Timmermans said, but warned against the most-damaging scenario of the United Kingdom leaving without an agreement in place to manage the fallout.
Johnson has promised to deliver Brexit on Oct. 31, with or without a deal.
"A no-deal Brexit, a hard Brexit, would be a tragedy – for all sides, not just for the United Kingdom," Timmermans said. "We are all going to suffer if that happens." (Additional reporting by Robin Emmott, Writing by Gabriela Baczynska; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Police Investigate Berry Picking Scandal
Swedish Radio News reports that the police have begun an investigation into the scandal which resulted in 160 Thais who came to Sweden to pick berries this summer being deprived of almost all of their wages.
After two months of the hard work in the Swedish forests, the berry-pickers received less than 900 dollars each in pay. The rest of their wages disappeared when the head of the Lomsjö company emptied the company's bank accounts and vanished.
Most of the berry-pickers have now begun their journey home, with almost nothing for their work. Thirty-eight of the Thais are remaining in Sweden, hoping to somehow recover their lost wages.
Bert-Rune Dahlberg of the Åsele Municipal Council tells Swedish Radio News there won't be a berry-picking season there next year if the system isn't changed.
According to reports, prospective berry-pickers are painted a glowing story of how easy it is to earn vast sums in Sweden, only to face a reality of harsh working conditions and sometimes expenses that outweigh their slim wages.

Usually very well stocked with pretty much everything you could possibly need, from wine, beer & cigarettes to milk, cheese, cured meats, frozen food and even some fresh produce too.
Really nice people working there. Also got all the basics (bread, pasta etc). Also great range of beers and a few wines. (update) pumps have just been referbed so looking pretty good.

Very good mechanics , highly recommend !
Our car was making the worst screeching sound and we stopped in a country lane just up the road from the garage (turns out it was a tiny fragment of flint in the brake pads). Ivo not only came out and diagnosed the problem within seconds, he also let us follow him to the garage and repaired it quickly on a Saturday. I couldn't recommend this guy highly enough. Looks can be deceiving in terms of premises but don't let that stop you from going there!

A few weeks ago, I walked past one of my most enjoyable classes as they were lined up in the school hallway. It's a mixed special ed class, K-2. One young lady I'll call "M" started bouncing in place and whispered, "Miss L! Miss L! Guess what?? I'm SO excited!" I thought her family must have won the lottery, or she was leaving school early to go to Disney.
"IT'S CORN DOG DAY!" I couldn't help but grin hugely back at her. So much enthusiasm, for a school cafeteria corn dog. It got me thinking, what little things get me that happy? So, so many…the smell of toast, a new John Irving novel, chocolate sprinkles, Van Halen blasting, and the much softer sweet sound of birds before the sun comes up, to name a few.
So, here, "M", is Miss L's equivalent of corn dog day…a baby indigo bunting. I've got to keep the original, but prints can be found here: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/indigo-bunting-anne-lewis.html
In my next post, I'll talk about the black background…
Happy Corn Dog Day!

Thursday 2nd June
Last night, due to the myriad of noises emanating from our bikes, we decided to add some additives to the engine and gearbox oils to try and forestall open heart surgery. It's a bit like the GP filling us up with pills and potions to keep us out of hospital! All was going well until I dropped the sump plug and instead of removing a little oil from the engine, the whole sump emptied over the hotel car park. Don't you just love it when everything goes according to plan.
This morning we got up and there were three of us for breakfast. I thought I'd get a group shot for John's family and friends back home before we set off (for those that don't know double click on the picture for a larger image).
Lucky I did as it went rapidly downhill from here on in. Shortly after leaving Spokane it started to rain, and it rained and rained and rained some more. We met with Craig (a very nice guy from California we met when motorcycling around the Grand Canyon some years ago). Craig is also riding with us for a while.
So two became four and we set off south(ish) aiming for Yellowstone. We had been told of a great riding road to Missoula via Orofina and it probably was, but all I could see were raindrops lashing against the visor.
And, it wasn't exactly warm either. It was still pouring when we eventually got to Orofino and had been for some time if this view is anything to go by.
Cold and very wet we decided to call it a day and booked into a local hostelry where every bit of heating, including ovens and microwaves, was pressed into action to start drying us out.
What did I say yesterday John!

The first SUV car from the company
Design - May 25th, 2012
MG unveiled the novel MG Icon concept car at the Beijing Auto Show, the first SUV car from the company, created by the MG global design team headed by British director Anthony Williams-Kenny.
The change of the ownership of the company, now owned by the Chinese SAIC, seems to have left the classical shapes and lines typical of the brand unaltered.
The designers wanted, in fact, to pay a tribute to MG's tradition, taking inspiration from some of the legendary brand's most famous sports cars. The result is a four seat compact SUV car, versatile and functional, where it's not difficult to see the references with the heritage of the brand: such as in the front with the circular headlights and the chromed radiator grille or in the MGB GT inspired rear with structural lamps mounted on top of hunched wings.
MG has been awarded the prestigious 'Best Concept' title at the Beijing Motor Show, one of the most sought-after awards on the international automotive show calendar, beating other important competitors, like Lamborghini Urus, Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupè and Honda Concept C.
Williams-Kenny, commenting on the outstanding achievement, said: "It's a great honor to win this very important award, particularly when the judges put the MG Icon ahead of so many other famous brands".
Rumors says that the car derived from the concept could hit the market already in 2014, but, at the moment, no plans have been officially announced by MG.

Can I tell you how long I have L.O.N.G.E.D for some sort of crafty "cutting" tool? I have pondered getting myself one and for some reason just never got around to it. But there have been many times mid-project when I questioned my sanity and was begrudging the fact that I did not have one. Well…I am so glad I waited! Can you imagine my suprise when I was contacted by the ladies from HowDoesShe? and Silhouette. They wanted to send me MY.VERY.OWN Silhouette machine to test out! Hello! Yes Please!

Scrapbooking and Paper tools: I just might be inspired to actually get my kids photos out of the boxes and off of the computer!
Card making tools: How great is it to be able to make your own cards for those last minute thank you notes or birthdays that slipped your mind…*ahem*!
I am also really excited to try my hand at making some fun shirts for my kids using the heat transfer tool! The possiblities are endless!

I don't know what people did before the invention of powerful stimulative laxatives. I guess if they were constipated they just sat around the jungle. Cursing at the gods. Eating raisins. And wondering when they were going to take a shit.
Not a lot has changed for mankind in modern times. Now when I get constipated I just chew on some Ex-Lax and wonder when I am going to take my 5th shit of the morning.
I just got back from I-hop where I ate some pancakes. I have no idea if the laxative finally kicked in or if it's the wonderful food they serve at I-Hop that got my colon going again.
But either way my tummy is now grumbling and my excretions can't stop. I've decided not to wipe my ass. As there seems no point to it anymore. I am just going to defecate in a few minutes anyway.
I've wanted to write a post on Kirk Cameron and his attempt to prove god exists on the TV show Nightline. But I wanted to make it funny and not preachy. But I can't think of anything funnier than Ray Comfort and Kirk masturbating a banana as proof that God exists.
I have to applaud ABC for dedicating Network time for debating the the existence of God. Network time, a washed up has-been teen sitcom star, and the guy who caught Micheal Jackson in bed with a 7 year old for a moderator.
I mean if these guys can't figure it out who could? Maybe Kelly could. Kelly has huge boobs. Kelly doesn't see why she needs straps on her dress to hold those suckers in. Even if she is debating the ultimate question of philosophy. Frankly, I have always wanted to find a girl like that.

Both governments have described a new pre-clearance border agreement as historic; one that provides significant benefits to Canada and the U.S. when it comes to tourism and trade.
The Star's View: Historic border deal is fantastic for Windsor
Both governments have described a new pre-clearance border agreement as historic; one that provides significant benefits to Canada and the U.S. when it comes to tourism and trade.
"We know that pre-clearance works," Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said after inking the deal in Washington on Monday. "This is more jobs for America, this is more jobs for Canada, and this is a safer border."
What he means by "this" is the decision to allow customs agents to cross the border to pre-screen travellers.
Under the deal signed by Blaney and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, U.S. customs agents would work on the Canadian side in border cities like Windsor, while Canadian agents would be posted in Detroit.
The goal is to have it work along the lines of checkpoints at some of the larger airports, so by the time you actually reach foreign soil you've met the entry requirements.
The plan is part of the 2011 Beyond the Border Initiative signed by Harper and Obama, which was intended to speed up travel by car, truck, train, bus and ship in the wake of 9-11.
But things did not go smoothly. The Department of Homeland Security seemed like a hostile place under former secretary Janet Napolitano, who often put Canada on par with Mexico when it came to issues of trade and security. At the same time, the fact U.S. customs agents would be armed while on duty on Canadian soil became a hot-button sovereignty issue.
Lost in the debate was the fact billions of dollars in trade was trying to flow back and forth between the two countries — $2 billion of it just through Windsor-Detroit — and each new layer of security was making it more inefficient and costly.
So Monday's deal really is historic and "momentous," as Johnson dubbed it, and business people on both sides of the border are lauding it as a way to move forward, especially after the recession's crushing effect on the economy.
One can only hope a dysfunctional U.S. Congress understands the importance and decides to join together in a spirit of bipartisanship. That kind of co-operation will be necessary to get this deal approved and over the hump, and neither the Republicans nor Democrats have shown an ability to work together.
It would be shocking if Parliament didn't rubber stamp the agreement, given the fact Ottawa is doing everything possible to build — and pay for — that second span linking Windsor to Delray, Mich. by bridge.
It's clear to all involved on this side that the new bridge, customs plaza and pre-clearance program will give Windsor an economic advantage and work in the best interests of all Canadians.
Let's hope American legislators appreciate it works in their best interests, too.

Essay Writing from Scratch
Research Paper Writing from Scratch
Essay writing from scratch is one of the most promising ways of learning the art of essay writing online. The art of essay writing from scratch is not as complex as it may sound. To write an excellent essay, the most important thing to know is the process. The process is best understood when broken down. These are the best essay writing from scratch tips, outlined below.
Requirements for Essay Writing
The location of the writer is crucial in essay writing. The first step in essay writing from scratch is to define an area that will be the work-space. This work-space should ideally be quiet and well lit, with adequate ventilation. The work-space should also be comfortable enough and away from distractions.
Gathering Resources for Research Paper
Essay writing from scratch requires the use of resources for research. For fruitful essay writing from scratch, the writer should collect all the support materials needed for the piece for example journals, papers, and books. These are the resources that the author will peruse to get ideas for the essay.
At this point, the student should have a clear sense of direction, and with a clear mind, should be able to embark on the following steps:
Create an essay outline
When writing an essay from scratch, the writer should create an outline. This is the rough body of the essay and will allow the author create an essay that is relevant and informative. The essay outline includes:
This is the part that catches the attention of the reader first. It should, therefore, be exciting to read, catchy and relevant to the essay without containing too much information. An essay written from scratch depends on its introduction to grab the readers' attention and create interest in the rest of the essay.
The Body of the Essay
The body of the paper is the main reason anyone would read it. It contains all the information that is of interest to the readers, and should, therefore, provide facts and also remain relevant to the topic. The body of an essay should be easy to read and understand, with a smooth flow of thought and impeccable grammar. This justifies why essay writing from scratch should be original and entertaining. All the information that the reader was intended to get should be contained here, including quotes and citations from sources.
The conclusion
This is an important part of the essay. Short and concise, the conclusion is where the whole composition is put in the summary form, and should be relevant to the essay topic. Ideally, the conclusion should be about a paragraph long. Paraphrasing skills are of crucial importance at this stage of essay writing from scratch.
The sources quoted and used by the essay writer should be listed in this section. It allows the reader who is curious about finding out more to be able to access these sources for further information.
When aspiring to do essay writing from scratch, it is imperative that the writer adheres to grammatical rules. The essay writer should also ensure the originality of the piece. The originality of the essay can only be confirmed when the essay passes the plagiarism test. Once this is done, the writer can be assured of an excellent essay writing from scratch.

Reintegration is a recurring theme here on SpouseBUZZ for a reason -- it's a really hard process that never completely ends. I think my husband and I will be reintegrating until I die.
And if the government's plans for us are as advertised, reintegration will continue to be a hot topic for a long time to come -- not because of our ongoing heavy deployment rates, but because our spouses will be spending more and more time at home with us. Does that scare anyone else?
When I read She of the Sea's post "I Love You -- Go Away," Sunday I realized I feel about my husband the same as she does about her children; there's such a thing as TOO much together time. I wonder if my civilian friends ever feel this way -- or is this strictly a milspouse malady? While a civilian friend is sad because her husband is away for his once-a-year weekend business trip, I find myself wondering if an overnight break once every two or so months would too much to ask.
Don't get me wrong -- I love my husband. He really, truly is my best friend. But like a good military spouse I have been trained to be OK with absences, and focus on what good things in them I can find, like the privilege of only ever watching movies that only I enjoy. It's an easy thing to get used to, and to miss when it's gone.
What in the world are we going to do when the separations provided by the military aren't so frequent anymore? Those tough relationship problems that we quietly push under the rug will no longer be so easy to avoid, and sharing the remote will truly be the least of my concerns.
Our military leadership says they know this is going to be a problem.
"The question we're wrestling with is -- OK, I'm going to be home for two years. What do I do now?," Gen. George Casey, Army chief of staff said at the AUSA conference last year. "There's things we just haven't had to do over the last [several] years. The most important thing we're focusing on doing is building resiliency for the long haul."
I'll be spending the next several months taking a hard look at what preparations are being done to mitigate this coming challenge. No, we can't rely on the government to make everything better. But if they say the programs are out there and the money is being spent, we should at least take a look to see if they are working.
Stay tuned.

Modern men have become so closely involved with their partner's pregnancy that 23 per cent report emotional and physical changes often associated with women.
The research found they become more emotional, 'weepy', and suffer mood swings, nausea and even phantom pregnancy pains.
Fathers-to-be involved in the study also reported cravings for bizarre food combinations such as tomatoes and oranges, tuna and pickled onions, and pickled eggs and icepops.
Of those affected, 26 per cent experienced mood swings, 10 per cent had food cravings and 6 per cent felt nausea, which was unconnected to any other illness.
Three per cent even suffered imaginary pregnancy pains, the study by nappy makers Pampers found.
Experts say the strange phenomenon is due to the emotional upheaval men also go through during their partners pregnancy and more of them attending antenatal classes and scans.
A third of men, 36 per cent, felt "more emotional" while their partner was pregnant, with 8 per cent becoming "weepy" while watching a soppy movie for the first time.
Many reported other emotions more traditionally associated with expectant mothers, with 56 per cent feeling increased nesting instincts, such as the need to decorate and tidy.
Meanwhile, 74 per cent, felt "more protective" of their partner and 80 per cent felt more responsibility to be the "strong provider".
Matthew Downing, 32, whose wife gave birth to their first child last December, said he underwent unexpected changes during the pregnancy.
The shop worker, from Dover, Kent, said: "My wife thought I was going mad when I developed cravings for apples and marmite and started getting emotional during soppy films.
"I spoke to her midwife about it when we went for a scan and was reassured I was OK.
"I had wanted a child for years so when we conceived I did everything I could to get involved in the pregnancy and birth.
"It brought the two of us closer and I found my emotions became very much aligned with hers."
Professor Mary Steen, who has been a midwife for 25 years, said: "Expectant fathers today are more involved during pregnancy and birth than they once were and want to support their partner as best they can.
"With cultural and societal changes over the last 50 years, it appears more acceptable for them to do so and be more honest and open about their feelings.
"Men and women both go through the emotional and physical journey together.
"Many men now attend the 12 to 14 week ultrasound dating scan where their bond with the child is first formed and they are more likely to attend antenatal classes and the birth.
"Involving men in this way helps build a stronger emotional connection with the baby and they learn more about what their partner is going through.
"It's perhaps not too surprising therefore that some expectant fathers are so finely tuned to their partner's physical and emotional changes that they begin to feel them too.
"A small percentage of men report nausea and vomiting, disturbed sleep patterns, backache and in extreme cases even labour pains.
"Recently, a few expectant fathers have started to discuss these issues with me at antenatal consultations and I have had to reassure them and occasionally refer them to their GP.
"The expectant fathers are adamant their conditions only developed after the conception."
Prof Steen, who works as a consultant for Pampers, added: "Many fathers-to-be are overwhelmed by the prospect of becoming a father and need support and reassurance during their partner's pregnancy.
"The expectant mother will always be the main focus during any pregnancy but it is important to recognise how pregnancy can affect the expectant dad."
