This is a comment about a comment posted. the jeep mentioned is the SE model, with only a 4 cylinder engine, the sport model which you have has a 6 clyinder engine, therefore different engine loads and transmission loads apply. for the 2000 jeep wrangler SE model, the manual says 2000lbs. thanks.

27th Sep 2005, 04:42

In my original review, I think that there was a little bit of confusion. I still own this jeep, and am just as happy with it today as I was when I wrote this writeup. Just to clarify, my Jeep is equipped with the 4 cylinder engine. It has over 45,000 miles on it now; it had less than 30,000 when I did wrote this up. My Jeep is the 4 cylinder and 5 speed. It still tows great; by far the best vehicle I have had to date. It's a keeper...

7th Aug 2007, 11:45

I am the author of the original writeup; this vehicle now has over 60,000 miles. All of the things on my original review still apply; this vehicle still runs as good as it did the day I purchased it new. Same Engine, transmission, and power-train. All stock jeep in it's original factory configuration still running strong; by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Only modification is the wheels. I am using after market 15x7 wheels (white wagon wheel) simply because they are cheaper to replace than the factory steel wheels should a wheel get damaged. Major repair work to date: replaced cv joints on forward drive shaft for under $200.00. This vehicle cleans up nicely and still has that new jeep look when all cleaned up. Would I buy another Jeep? Probably not, only because I don't really need to; I will still be driving this one for many years to come!!

16th Apr 2008, 09:57

I own a 2000 Wrangler SE... The only thing I did was add custom wheels and put a new Bestop. I chose black and I purchased the silder glass half door windows off ebay for 125.00 free shipping. Mechanically I have only changed fluids, filters, and brakes... The Jeep currently has 84000 miles and runs like it was new... I love it> my children love it. I am hooked for life especially since I live in Michigan...

Little Filipino girl in church

Being an Inclusive Church…and not an exclusive club

This year Racial Justice Sunday on the 9 September 2012 is on the theme Being an Inclusive Church…and not an exclusive club. Racial Justice Sunday (RJS) 2012 explores what it means to be an Inclusive Church in a multi-ethnic society and the actions that each of us can take to promote it.

Each Church has a tremendous opportunity to evidence God’s Kingdom on earth by taking deliberate action to include members of Britain’s ethnic minority communities in its congregation.

Bishop Patrick Lynch, Archdiocese of Southwark and President of CARJ and Paul Anderson-Walsh the Chief Executive Officer of the Stephen Lawrence Trust have both contributed suggested homilies to the RJS resource pack.

The RJS resource pack and materials can be downloaded here

Alberta mother who drowned sons eligible for release

The Alberta mother who drowned her two young boys three years ago could be released from custody as early as Thursday.

Allyson McConnell wants to return to native Australia

The Alberta mother who drowned her two young boys three years ago could be released from custody as early as Thursday.

Curtis and Allyson McConnell are shown with sons Connor and Jayden in an undated photo. (Facebook)

Allyson McConnell, 33, has been in Alberta Hospital since she was convicted of manslaughter in April 2012 in the deaths of her two sons, 2½-year-old Connor and 10-month-old Jayden, in February 2010 at their Millet, Alta., home during a divorce battle with her husband.

She left their bodies in the bathtub to be discovered by her husband before trying to kill herself by jumping off an overpass.

She was sentenced last June to six years in prison, which left her eligible for parole last month after receiving two-for-one credit for time already served.

The sentencing judge recommended McConnell, who is still believed to be suicidal, remain at Alberta Hospital until she's no longer a danger to herself or others.

As McConnell is an Australian citizen, her lawyer has been trying to pave the way for her to return to her family.

McConnell is under a removal order issued by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, said Lisa White, spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency.

The agency is required to begin the deportation process once a foreign national is convicted of a criminal offence, she said.

Alberta's justice minister wants McConnell to stay in the country until the Crown's appeals on the length of her sentence and the manslaughter conviction are heard, but White said an appeal cannot stop McConnell's extradition.

"Our laws state that Canada Border Services Agency must enforce the removal order as soon as is practicable," White said. "By law, a criminal appeal of conviction does not stay a removal from Canada."

However, as a last resort the province can ask the federal court to stay McConnell's deportation.

During the trial, the prosecution argued McConnell killed the boys as revenge against her husband, who had refused permission to let her return to her native Australia with the boys.

However, the defence said the fact McConnell suffered from severe depression coupled with her use of alcohol and sleeping pills meant she could not have formed the intent required to convict her of second-degree murder.

Heart surgeons in Toronto perform bypass on Twitter

Surgeons at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre brought Twitter followers into their operating room today while performing a coronary artery bypass graft on a 57-year-old man.

Twitter followers saw photos, learned about bypasses in real time, but ethical questions remain

Doctors at Sunnybrook perform double bypass heart surgery live on Twitter. 2:04

Surgeons at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre brought Twitter followers into their operating room today while performing a coronary artery bypass graft on a 57-year-old man to raise awareness about heart issues.

The hospital's social media team tweeted facts, photos and videos of the coronary artery bypass graft, also known as CABG, on Thursday. They are also provided information about preventing heart diseaseby quitting smoking, exercising and eating better.

Bypass surgery is done to improve blood flow to the heart, typically after arteries have become blocked with plaque due to coronary artery disease. Surgeons remove a healthy blood vessel — often from the leg —and attach it to the blocked artery.

Sunnybrook likened it to a "road detour" around blocked arteries, with the aim of increasing blood flow to the heart.

The hospital has said the patient has given permission and referred to him by his first name, Lou.

At noon, the hospital said the grafts were complete, the heart had resumed beatingsuccessfully and Lou was off bypass. A video showed surgeons placing chest tubes to prevent blood from putting pressure on the heart during recovery. At 1 p.m., they closed his chest to complete the surgery successfully — a birthday gift for him.

Earlier, Louwas connected to a bypass, or "heart-lung," machine to keep oxygenated blood pumping through his body during the procedure, hospital tweets said.

A surgical photo showed a radial artery harvested from his left arm, one of the patient's two bypass grafts.

"Obviously we can't bring the public into the operating room, so it's nice to be able to broadcast what we do," Dr. Gideon Cohen, Sunnybrook's chief of cardiac surgery, said in a post-surgery interview with CBC News. "This is an engaging way of keeping the public informed."

On Twitter, the surgical team was asked about what they feel like during the four hours at the operating table, where they listened to music on a radio.

"You don't notice it at the time of the operation, but when you get home you feel pretty wiped," Cohen said. "So it's probably that kind of subconscious stress that gets to you at the end of the day."

February is billed as heart awareness month.

Ethics of tweeting tragedy?

Followers of #SBheart, which includes teachers and other Canadian hospitals, commended Sunnybrook for the event and showered Lou with well wishes.

But Summer McGee, a professor of public health ethics and policy at the University of New Haven in West Haven, Conn., has blogged about the ethics of tweeting live medical procedures.

"Hospitals see dollar signs from great PR," McGee said in an email to CBC News.

"Physicians imagine becoming a social media Sanjay Gupta. But the #epicfail will be for patients: even an outstanding hospital like Sunnybrook cannot possibly prepare patients for tweeting about tragedy. And even when it’s exciting and has a happy ending, hospitals need to keep in mind that reality shows have an editing room … Twitter doesn’t."

Cohen responded that the operation and teaching during the Twitter event were the same as always.

"I think that any time you do something that's out of the ordinary in terms of operations, any type of operation, if it's going to change what you do, you shouldn't be doing it."

CABG, while potentially lifesaving and important for some patients, is needed by only a small proportion of patients who access cardiac care, according to the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Provinces track wait times for CABG.

The hospital believes it's the first Canadian facility to live-tweet heart surgery.

Elsewhere in 2012, Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston live-tweeted brain surgery to an audience estimated at 14.5 million. Last fall, a British hospital gave Twitter users a front-row seat for a cataract surgery.

Syria's civil war leaves at least 40 dead at beseiged camp

Children, the elderly and others displaced by Syria's civil war are starving to death in a besieged camp where women brave sniper fire to forage for food just minutes from the relative prosperity of Damascus.

Tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees, displaced Syrians trapped under blockade at Yarmouk camp

Children, the elderly and others displaced by Syria's civil war are starving to death in a besieged camp where women brave sniper fire to forage for food just minutes from the relative prosperity of Damascus.

There are no more people in Yarmouk, only skeletons with yellow skin.- Resident Umm Hassan

The dire conditions at the Yarmouk camp are a striking example of the catastrophe unfolding in rebel-held areas blockaded by the Syrian government. U.S. and Russian diplomats said Monday the warring sides are considering opening humanitarian corridors to let in aid and build confidence ahead of an international peace conference on Syria.

Interviews with residents and U.N. officials, as well as photos and videos provided to The Associated Press, reveal an unfolding tragedy in the sprawling camp, where tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees and displaced Syrians are trapped under an intensifying yearlong blockade.

Forty-six people have died since October of starvation, illnesses exacerbated by hunger or because they couldn't obtain medical aid, residents said.

"There are no more people in Yarmouk, only skeletons with yellow skin," said 27-year-old resident Umm Hassan, the mother of two toddlers.

"Children are crying from hunger. The hospital has no medicine. People are just dying," she told the AP by telephone, adding that her 3-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son were rapidly losing weight from lack of food.

The dead include Isra al-Masri, an emaciated toddler who passed away on Saturday swaddled in a wool sweater, her eyes sunken, her skin darkened, her swollen tongue wedged between her lips. The child was filmed minutes before her death, slowly blinking as she was held by an unidentified woman in a video sent to the AP by a 25-year-old resident, Sami Alhamzawi.

"Look at this child! Look at her!" the woman in the video shouts, thrusting the child before the camera. "What did she do to deserve this?"

Other deaths suggest the extent of desperation among residents: Teenager Mazen al-Asali hung himself in late December after returning home without food to feed his starving mother. An elderly man was beaten to death by thieves who ransacked his home, looking for food and money.

Deaths have also been reported by opposition groups, activists and the United Nations.

Similar casualty figures were reported by the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which documents Syrian casualties through a network of activists on the ground. The U.N. confirmed 15 deaths, but spokesman Chris Gunness said it was impossible to know the real toll because of restricted access.

"There is profound civilian suffering in Yarmouk, with widespread malnutrition and the absence of medical care," Gunness said. "Children are suffering from diseases linked to severe malnutrition."

Trucks loaded with food turn back

The camp and other blockaded areas pose a stark challenge for Syria's government and the opposition, who agreed to consider opening humanitarian access in the run-up to a peace conference next week in Switzerland that would bring the sides together for the first time.

Speaking in the midst of a two-day series of meetings in Paris, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said they were also pressing for a cease-fire and prisoner exchange between the warring sides.

But hopes appear slim.

The U.N. humanitarian chief said last month that an estimated 250,000 people in besieged communities in Syria were beyond the reach of aid. The government has kept outside aid sharply limited. Key humanitarian routes are increasingly cut off by the fighting, and kidnappings of aid workers are on the rise. Both Assad's forces and rebels have used blockades to punish civilians.

Repeated efforts to bring food into Yarmouk have failed. Most recently, on Monday, six trucks loaded with U.N.-donated food to feed 10,000 people had to turn back after gunmen fired on the convoy, resident Alhamzawi said.

Some 160,000 Palestinians once lived in Yarmouk, a strategic prize for rebels and Assad forces for its close proximity to Damascus. They remained mostly neutral when the uprising began against Assad's rule in March 2011.

But clashes erupted between pro- and anti-Assad Palestinian gunmen in December 2012, and most residents fled. The poorest, some 18,000 people, remained behind, according to U.N. estimates, along with tens of thousands of Syrians displaced from rebel-held areas that were seized back by the regime.

Pro-Assad Palestinian factions set up checkpoints around Yarmouk and progressively tightened a blockade of the area. By September, they banned residents from leaving, or food from entering.

It also meant residents couldn't reach U.N. aid that was distributed outside the camp. The U.N. stopped operating inside Yarmouk in December, because of the fighting.

Desperate for food

As months have passed, Yarmouk's poorest have run out of food, according to residents and the U.N.

Families now dissolve spices in water and feed it to their children as soup. Some found animal feed, but residents suffered food poisoning after eating it.

The regime forces won't remove the siege on the camp as long as the militants are staying in it, and the militants won't leave.- Husam Arafat, official of a pro-Assad Palestinian faction

A woman desperate to feed her children sneaked into a field surrounded by Syrian snipers to forage for mallow, a green herb. She was shot in the leg and hand, she said in a video uploaded by activists.

Lying on a bed, the woman's bloodied hand shook as she wept, recounting how her children pleaded for food. She rushed into the field but heard gunfire and fell to the ground, bleeding and wounded. "For some mallow," she wept. "To save us from death."

The videos appear to be genuine and consistent with AP reporting on Yarmouk.

Within the camp, misery lives amid fear and defiance. Civilians shrink into their homes at dusk, as armed gunmen roam the streets.

Earlier this week, thieves beat up an elderly resident, who later died in a hospital, Alhamzawi told the AP by telephone. They stole his money — and his food. "It's chaos," he said.

Merchants bribe gunmen to sneak in food, but sell it at exorbitant prices. A kilo (2 pounds) of rice costs $50 — about half a month's wage, residents said.

Despite the hardship, parents are still sending their famished children to school, where they are taught by hungry teachers, Umm Hassan said.

"Officials said we should stop because the children are dizzy and falling down, but we refused," she said.

'History will curse us'

In recent months, local truces have partly resolved blockades in other rebel-held areas, with gunmen agreeing to disarm in exchange for allowing in food for residents.

Disturbing images of starving children and elderly are emerging from the besieged neighborhood capital Damascus, where forces loyal to President Bashar Assad are forbidding food and aid to enter the rebel-held area. (Palestinians of Syria/Associated Press)
The Yarmouk blockade appears to be the harshest yet, and the most intractable. Months of negotiations for rebels to disarm have failed, residents said.

An official of a pro-Assad Palestinian faction imposing the blockade said it wouldn't be lifted until an estimated 3,000 rebels disarmed.

"The regime forces won't remove the siege on the camp as long as the militants are staying in it, and the militants won't leave," said the official, Husam Arafat.

In the meantime, Palestinians in the West Bank have been running a campaign to raise awareness of the siege.

Protesters gathered outside the office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, demanding he find a solution.

BottleHood: Message in a bottle - CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8

BottleHood: Message in a bottle

Posted: Updated:

EL CAJON (CBS 8) - It's time to raise our glasses and toast the El Cajon company with a conscience.

"Repurposing glass is a way to get glass out of the landfill, create local business and stimulate the retail economy," Steve Cherry said.

At BottleHood, empty beer, wine and liquor containers become classic glassware.

"The bottles come from every restaurant and bar in town. We advertise on Craigslist, we collect bottles at farmers markets on weekends," Steve said.

BottleHood is equal parts warehouse and bottle museum, a glassy tribute to our lost brain cells.

"We cut about 1,200 wine bottles a week. In fact, we even do a line of glass made from Two-buck Chuck," Steve said.

Fifths of Jack Daniels become lamps, and at BottleHood, they may not be able to hold their liquor, but they wear it well.

Leslie Tiano co-founded BottleHood in 2009.

"I don't throw anything away. I'm the eco-zealot in the equation," Leslie said. "I love letting people know that this is a repurposing project."

The rebooting bottle business is booming.

"Because San Diego is such a great convention town, there's an inordinate amount of liquor being consumed here, which is really one of the strategic reasons for our location and headquarters here," Leslie said.

So lift your glass and toast the company that's tiptoeing through the carbon footprints and know that your booze will not be tomorrow's refuse.

    May 9, 2018

    Canada’s PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic athletes and coaches arrive at Rideau Hall in Ottawa for the Team Canada Celebration.

    Note to media: Photos from the Team Canada Celebration are available for editorial use here.

    OTTAWA (May 9, 2018) – Our high-performance heroes are in Canada’s capital today to be recognized for their achievements at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
    Events today at Rideau Hall with Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada, and on Parliament Hill with the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, are recognizing our Canadian athletes, guides and coaches for their record-breaking accomplishments and performances at the recent Winter Games. They will be accompanied by Tricia Smith, President, Chris Overholt, CEO and Secretary General and Isabelle Charest, Chef de Mission, of the Canadian Olympic Committee; and Marc-André Fabien, President, Karen O’Neill, CEO and Todd Nicholson, Chef de Mission, of the Canadian Paralympic Committee; as well as Team Canada’s high-performance directors.
    The day will begin with an interactive national “Team Canada Champion Chat,” providing youth across Canada with the opportunity to engage with Olympians and Paralympians live from Rideau Hall. Athletes, students and the general public at Rideau Hall will also be able to try out sports such as para ice hockey and snowboarding. After a special ceremony in the morning – including the presentation of the James Worrall Flag Bearer Awards presented by Petro-Canada and distribution of the Olympic and Paralympic rings presented by Teck, Canada’s largest diversified resource company and proud sponsor of the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee – Team Canada members will travel to the Parliament of Canada, where another “Team Canada Classroom Champion Chat” will take place. Athletes, guides, and coaches will then be celebrated in the House of Commons and share the story of their exceptional journey.
    The Government of Canada is proud to support our country’s world-class sport system, providing funding for initiatives to help our high-performance athletes and to promote sport participation among all Canadians. We commend our many partners—including provincial and territorial governments, the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees, national sport organizations and the private sector—who work to ensure that our athletes are supported on their journey to the podium.
    “The Government of Canada recognizes that our athletes are an enormous source of pride for all Canadians and serve as excellent role models for all of us—especially our young people. This is why it is so important to honour them in the nation’s capital and recognize all the hard work and dedication that each of them has put into their sport. Whether it was podium success or a personal best, we congratulate all of our athletes on their tremendous accomplishments; you have made Canada proud.”
    The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and the Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities
    “Thank you to the Government of Canada for making today’s celebration of Canadian sporting excellence possible. Canadians are so very proud of the hard work and dedication our teams committed to make PyeongChang 2018 the most successful Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in our country’s history. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate their incredible performances together.”
    Tricia Smith, President, Canadian Olympic Committee
    “PyeongChang 2018 was a superb display of dedication, heart and perseverance—all qualities we value in Canada. Our athletes are wonderful ambassadors for sport and parasport across the country, and are so deserving of recognition for their accomplishments at Canada’s most successful Paralympic and Olympic Winter Games ever. Thank you to the Government of Canada for welcoming the athletes to Ottawa for such a wonderful celebration.”
    Marc-André Fabien, President, Canadian Paralympic Committee
    “As a Canadian company with roots across our country, we are honoured to provide this commemorative ring on behalf of all Canadians to the athletes and coaches who competed in PyeongChang. Their achievements inspired our entire nation and will live on in the hearts and minds of Canadians for years to come.”
    Don Lindsay, President and CEO, Teck
    “The athletes who carry our nation’s flag into each Olympic and Paralympic Games embody the very best of what we are together as Canadians. We are humbled and honoured today to champion their accomplishments and spirit, in presenting each of them with the 2018 James Worrall Flag Bearer Award.”

Pre recorded webcam shows

Pre recorded webcam shows

Users of video services, such as Skype, should be aware of a variety of scams that may use footage and images captured without your knowledge, to blackmail you.

In one version, the scam originates from a dating website or social network site like Facebook.

Narrations and timings can enhance a web-based or self-running slide show.

If you have a sound card, microphone, and speakers, and (optionally) a webcam, you can record your Power Point presentation and capture narrations, slide timings, and ink gestures.

In the Recording window, the triangular Play button near the top left corner lets you preview the recording of the slide that currently has the focus in that window.

In Normal view, click the sound icon or picture in the lower-right corner of the slide, and then click Play.

Facebook integration means there's no need to worry about stream keys or complicated set-up steps.The attacker can use pre recorded webcam footage to disguise their identity while appearing to be genuinely engaged in conversation; "to appear legitimate." Some romance scammers have been known to threaten people with the exposure of photos or videos obtained once they realize the victim is no longer cooperative.An attacker can upload a private video of the victim to video services like You Tube, then use it to extort them further by threatening to make it public or direct it to the victims family or friends.That setting will also mean that upon opening the Clipchamp widget, it automatically switches to the webcam screen (but does not yet start the recording).The “no-user-retry” flag that is added to the (a HTML snippet representing a You Tube player widget that you can embed on your website).

Scammers may use carefully prepared webcam images or footage of themselves which may initially seem flattering, but can increasingly become coercive and explicit.

'Capricious': Donald Tusk condemns Trump administration

European council president says US can no longer be relied upon after threat of trade war

The threat posed by Donald Trump’s administration has been likened to that of China and Russia by Donald Tusk as he condemned the US’s withdrawal from the Iran deal and threat of a transatlantic trade war.

At the start of an EU summit in Bulgaria, the European council president offered a withering condemnation of Trump’s White House. He said: “We are witnessing today a new phenomenon: the capricious assertiveness of the American administration. Looking at the latest decisions of President Trump, some could even think, ‘With friends like that, who needs enemies?’”

Trump’s decision to walk away from the nuclear deal with Iran – to which the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China are co-signatories – is being linked by the EU with the US administration’s refusal to exempt the bloc from steel and aluminium tariffs.

It was clear, Tusk suggested, that Washington could no longer be relied upon.

With member states yet to agree on how to handle the challenges, Tusk called on leaders gathering in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, to unite behind the tough line being taken by key European actors in response to the White House’s actions.

Theresa May, Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel have resolved to stick with the joint comprehensive plan of action with Iran, despite the threats of US sanctions against European businesses.

The European commission is refusing to open talks on wider trade terms with the US, including import tariffs on cars – a bugbear of the US president – until it receives a permanent exemption from punitive taxes on European steel and aluminium.

Before a dinner with EU leaders, including the UK’s prime minister, Tusk said: “I have no doubt that in the new global game, Europe will either be one of the major players, or a pawn. This is the only real alternative. In order to be the subject and not the object of global politics, Europe must be united economically, politically and also militarily like never before. To put it simply: either we are together, or we will not be at all.

“But, frankly speaking, Europe should be grateful by President Trump, because thanks to him we have got rid of old illusions. He has made us realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm.

“Europe must do everything in its power to protect – in spite of today’s mood – the transatlantic bond. But at the same time we must be prepared for those scenarios where we have to act on our own.”

Tusk said he wanted the 28 leaders over the next 24 hours to reconfirm that the EU would stick to the deal as long as Iran did. “The deal is good for European and global security, which is why we must maintain it,” he said.

Tusk said the US appeared to be hesitating in hitting European companies doing business in Iran with sanctions, but the bloc still needed to be ready to protect its interests. It was crucial, he said, that the EU stuck to its guns and refused to talk trade with the US until it received a permanent exemption from punitive tariffs on steel and aluminium imposed by Washington on the grounds of national security.

“The EU and US are friends and partners, therefore US tariffs cannot be justified on the basis of national security,” he said. “It is absurd to even think that the EU could be a threat to the US. We need to bring back reality in this discussion, which is not the case today.”

A slew of companies, including French firm Total, have announced that they will end their Iran contracts unless the US administration gives them a carve-out. Referring to a major natural gas project in the Persian Gulf, Total said it would “not be in a position to continue the South Pars project and will have to unwind all related operations before 4 November 2018 unless Total is granted a specific project waiver by the US authorities with the support of the French and European authorities”.

The Danish oil shipping company Torm also said it was pulling out of Iran, while the container shipping line Swiss-based MSC also said on Wednesday it would stop taking new bookings for Iran due to the US sanction decision.

The leaders of the EU member states are in Sofia to discuss the western Balkans and digital innovation, but the agenda has been hijacked by the need to respond to Trump.

Tusk will also be having a personal meeting with May on Thursday to discuss Brexit, as concerns grow about the debate in the UK over the customs union. One senior EU official described the scenes of the British cabinet openly debating the way forward without a clear steer from May as shocking.

Meanwhile, the UK home secretary, Sajid Javid, has clashed with the European parliament over his department’s scheme for EU nationals seeking to stay in the UK after Brexit. In a letter to Guy Verhofstadt, the parliament’s Brexit coordinator, in which Javid sought to reassure the former Belgian prime minister that the system in the UK would be smooth and fair, the home secretary said the 27 other member states had so far failed to offer their plans for dealing with British nationals.

“We are concerned that as yet we have seen little information about the practical arrangements for securing their rights under the withdrawal agreement,” he wrote. “Is the European parliament able to provide any reassurance about progress on equivalent arrangements for UK nationals? We are discussing this issue with the commission and I would encourage you to press for similar assurances to protect UK nationals.”

Poolside (3)

“Ray?” said Bernie. “Let’s not let this get any worse.”

Ray was still gazing at the gun in his hand like it was surprising him in some way. He looked at Bernie, then at me, and tossed the gun aside. It clattered on the tiles by Albie Rose’s pool. We went over. Bernie picked it up. He spun the barrel, ejected a round.

“Twenty-two long, Ray,” he said. His gaze went to the empty bottles of booze, the bloody towels. “What went on here?” he said.

Ray put his head in his hands. That’s something humans do from time to time. It means they’re not feeling tip-top. I myself was feeling tip-top at the moment. We were working on a case, getting paid, and all the guns in sight were in our possession.

“I don’t know,” Ray said. Perps said that kind of thing all the time. Take Smiley Frelish, for example, who’d said, “What money?” when we burst into his crib and found him counting big stacks of it, money that would have solved all our financial problems, but Bernie gave it back to the bank anyway. But forget all that. The point is that for some reason I was starting to like Ray.

    Heh!…Lexi and Sammie having a showdown for a part in a movie… ha!… You guys made me laugh right off the bat!…snort!…But what about poor Ray? Chet likes the guy so he must not be the bad guy in this bloody scenario…grunt!

    "and all the guns in sight were in our possession"

    Wonderful! I can see why Chet is feeling tip-top! It is good to be the protectors with the plethora of projectile pieces!

    Oh Ray . . . How many times as a mom have I heard that comment . . .

    Now, Get Your Act Together, and find out what's going on. If you aren't the perp (another p word), Bernie and Chet will help! Just don't do anything dumb.

    Gracie ate a pound of hamburger in the middle of the night and then again this morning. All by herself!

    Just like Lexi swimming! All By Her Self! 🙂

    Staff: Sorry about the daisies, glad it wasn't you, Alice and Abbie would not be pleased and we don't want Kats on the Rampage.

    Riö, your fierce look just makes Bess want to kiss your nose!

    I don't think that Ray killed Albie. I can't even begin to speculate who did, however. And where is Astrid? And I'm sure we haven't seen the end of Foster. Hmmm….pondering…!!

    Hurrah for Gracie!! I have been so worried about our little mama!

    Rio, give your friend a pug hug, okay?

    Chet: Ray probably reminds you of his father. You liked him too. I think he fed you a couple pounds of hamburger.

    Melanie: Couple pounds of hamburger should last for one feeding of those pups. And she ate it by herself – relief. Gracie could use the services of a wet-nurse to give her a break. Anybody know one?

    Staff: My big and little sister out looking at daisy's while a tornado rips up the town just blocks away. Staff has been in the middle of a tornado before, in Minnesota. I don't think Montana gets many tornadoes. Staff seems to attract them.

    I am pleased to report that the boys are doing great!! We have been busy and mom has been sharing her laptop with them, so we haven't been on line as often as we would like.

    Let's see…..both boys are playing jr varsity football, and are working out with the varsity team at 7:30 as well. Today they are applying for a summer job at Burger King, and they each have nice girlfriends who are clean and sober. They are doing their chores, being responsible, and we are having lots of fun together! Baxter, our part time job, adores them and sometimes I get a little jealous. (sad face)

    I think that mom is a little worried because they are doing so well, but I told her that I, Wolfie Wigglebutt am on duty, and I will take good care of them!

    Holy Cow! Mom is reading the New York Times and they pointed to a bunch of youtube videos of Staff's tornado, which we now know she attracts.

    Go to youtube.com and type into the search field 'Tornado destroys MetraPark' and some scary videos come up. My oh my oh my.

  14. dawson

    WWWWW: We all know that Rio is NOT a wet nurse.

  15. Staff
    6:04 am on June 21st, 2010

    That other tornado was in 1982. That was on a Sunday too! I do not believe that two tornadoes in 28 years can be called 'attracting tornadoes'.

    ~Wolfie, good to hear from you. Sending good vibes to the boys so they keep on the straight and narrow path.

    ~BStover, good luck with the meds. I hate sinus infections.

    ~Rio, good wishes to you for all the stuff you have to do. It is a lot of work. We will be thinking of you.

    ~Lexi and Sam…uh oh!

    ~Melanie, good news with Gracie. As long as she knows you are in her corner fighting for her she will be fine.

    Whew, time for breakfast here. Then maybe we will go out and do some laundry. Not at the laundromat that was sucked up by the tornado though. We will have to use a different one.

    Lexi: My opinion. You don't become a princess just because you wear dresses. Sam does not need such finery – she is a natural princess.

    You, Lexi, are the Queen of Bob's. There is no shame in that.

    Staff: I have never been in the middle of an actual tornado that knocked down huge trees all around the building I ran into moments before to avoid being sucked up. I have never watched the daisy's get hailed on while buildings were being demolished blocks away. I stand by my previous statement. By the way, was anyone hurt in that 1982 tornado? If not, at least you attract only non-fatal tornadoes. The only injury in this tornado was a guy who got hit on the head with a big hail-stone.

    Rio, yesterday your friend said you had such good expressions that you could be in a movie.

    I read that and said Movie? Movie! Yes, Movie! I’m ready!

    Can I audition with you? We’d be so good together in a movie. I could do this before my Princess role – it’d be good practice.

  19. Lexi
    8:55 am on June 21st, 2010

    Hey! Chet! NO likey of the bad guy! BAD dog! Stay by Bernie and follow what he does. Be a good dog. Your all our role model! And GOOD morning! 🙂

  20. Lexi
    8:58 am on June 21st, 2010

    Hey Sam! We posted at the same time!! 🙂 Cool! But I want the role of Princess! I wanna be in a movie! Grr! Showdown!

  21. Riö - The Evil
    8:03 am on June 21st, 2010

    Showdown!… The only way to pick the one true Princess of The Blog is two have both contestants post their most Princess-like photos …snort!… Then we regular bloggers will vote on who should be our Princess… grunt!…Maybe we can email AbbieTheKat our vote so as not to cause hard feelings…sneeze!…She can keep count and declare the winner…wheeze!… Abbie?

  22. Lexi
    8:34 am on June 21st, 2010

    Hey! There ain't any rule against being BOTH Queen of Bobs AND Princess!! All of my Bobs even agree with me. Top THAT Sam!! Aha!! I, Lexi, declare myself as the princess!! 🙂 😛

  23. Lexi
    8:38 am on June 21st, 2010

    Fine Rio!!! I will send in a photo of me at my most princess like!! Tailwags and licks. Lexi-your future blog princess, and who is also holding the title as the Queen of Bobs.

  24. Lexi
    9:04 am on June 21st, 2010

    Rio, I am willing to judge the princess candidates. Every one should be allowed to participate. We will not discriminate.

    However I don't know if I can do this until Wednesday when AbbietheKitty and I are actually together again.

    I can, of course, mind meld with her if you all insist on immediate satisfaction.

    Submit your pictures.

  32. Riö - The Evil

    Melanie, tell Gracie that she has made us all very happy and relieved, and to keep it up.

    Wolfie, I am glad that things are going well. Don't be sad about Baxter. Love has no limits. You're their number one guy.

    Staff, terrible pictures coming out of Billings…glad you guys are okay. Billings is not a place one would expect a tornado, unlike Kansas or Oklahoma.

    I hope the doctor can help Stover. We don't want you to be sick.

  34. Melanie
    10:20 am on June 21st, 2010

    Oh, oh, vote for ONE Princess? Sounds like a Kat fight to me!

    Wölfie, I still worry about my boys and OTAS will be 31 in NINE days. Jeez.

    B. Stover, isn't just about right that you can get through the entire year and then you get sick?

    Grace ate some roast today and then a third of a can of dog food. She is looking better. She loves being with all TWELVE at the same time. They can't really feed that way; some two are always left out. Here's a picture of them all. They have already eaten and just having Mom time.

    Zonked out here. So Enjoy!

    10:32 am on June 21st, 2010

  37. dawson
    10:33 am on June 21st, 2010

    Melanie: What a lovely picture of Grace and her puppies. She is such a good mother. She doesn't look too bad – just a little exhausted as you all must be. (Click on the picture to enlarge)

    Lexi: I don't see your picture.

  38. Riö - The Evil
    10:37 am on June 21st, 2010

    Good photo of Grqcie and the pups. Maybe getting to be with all of them at once will help Gracie's mood. I know Gracie is proud of those pups, as she should be.

  41. Melanie
    11:06 am on June 21st, 2010

    Lexi, I find I have to wait until I see the name or number of the picture right under where I have written. SO IT WOULD BE HERE!

    It takes awhile depending on how many pixels the photo is. Then I hit submit.

  42. Riö - The Evil
    11:16 am on June 21st, 2010

    Okay, read 'em and weep. I am a Maltese and I run with blurry legs and my head held in a determined position. I am Princess.

    Small disclaimer here: my family keeps getting my should-be long hair cut. It will grow in time for my audition.

  45. Sam
    11:46 am on June 21st, 2010

    What a beautiful family Grace and her twelve pups make. She looks proud as she should.

    Thanks all for the well wishes. I now have meds and I hope they work. Mollypop: That was so funny about your mom when she had a sinus infection making funny noises that sound just like Rio! And that is so accurate! (Rio: You know that we love your sound effects. It's just that I prefer they come from you on the blog rather than from me in reality.)

  48. Riö - The Evil
    11:56 am on June 21st, 2010

    Hmmm!… Sammie, not to be judgmental in any way shape or form…heh!…How does this photo make you look Princess-like??…. snort!…To me it is a big room full of furniture and a little bitty white girl-dog that we can barely see because she hiding on the cough!…wheeze!… Maybe you should submit one that shows more of just you in a Princess-like pose? … cough!… I am only offering up a suggestion here, this is your competition… grunt!…Lexi is having issues even posting her photo…heh!

  49. B. Stover
    11:57 am on June 21st, 2010

    On Facebook Spence (today) answered a question about his writing methods. He is at work on his new middle-grade novel and said that "Robbie and Ashanti are in a sticky situation." I love the name Ashanti.

  50. B. Stover
    12:02 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Rio: I watched Through the Wormhole. It was very interesting. The theory of the Hawaiian surfer-physicist is fascinating. However, the "mental helmet" dude is totally unconvincing. (Whenever I want to irritate my physics professor friend, I ask him to explain what happened two minutes before the Big Bang. It works every time….HEE HEE.)

  51. Riö - The Evil
    12:04 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Stover!…yeah! You are back!…sniff!… I missed you my friend….grunt!…Guess what? Because someone doesn’t feel like doing anything after that visit to the Crematorium, we are watching a movie with Alan Cumming in it!…snort!… We can’t remember what it is supposed to be about, just that he is in it… heh! …I think it is called “Tin Man”… snorkel!…Not sure really.

  52. Siberian Husky
    12:08 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Sam, you are way cuter than Babycakes. I much prefer the natural look to the show dog look.

    That reminds me…I found a t-shirt in a magazine that says, "A Dirty Dog is a Happy Dog". Maybe I can get Molly to order it for me online, and I'll give it to my mom to wear.

  53. Riö - The Evil
    12:10 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Stover!… I wish Spencer would quit wasting his time on Facebook and keep trying to type out his next novel… snort!…We all know how long it takes him to type out one answer… good grief!… Then if you get someone who will not leave the poor guy alone well, look at all that time wasted that could have been spent on that sticky situation with his new characters… grumble!

  54. B. Stover
    12:21 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Rio: A writer can't write nonstop. He deserves breaks and "someone" asks interesting questions.

    I looked up Ashanti and it has many references, including a film with Michael Caine. In Hindi it means "mental or physical disturbance." Now I'm really intrigued. Spence said it has aspects of the paranormal.

    Tin Man is a science fiction version of Wizard of Oz…a miniseries in 2007. Let me know how it is.

  55. Mollypop
    12:45 pm on June 21st, 2010

    When my Mom still worked instead of lying around all day, her company outsourced some of its computer work to India. One of the guys who arrived on site was named Ashanti.

    My dear, dear Siber-H – when we go on our next mission, I will get you that shirt.

  57. Riö - The Evil
    12:55 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Stover!… The Wizard of Oz reference has explained a lot!… whew!… Alan Cumming just made his unique entrance!…zowey!…So over the top as Tin Man with a zipper down the middle of his head cause the bad sorceress stole his brain… snort!…This is going to be good! If they don’t mess it up that is…heh!

    Molly! … For a moment there I thought you had told SiberH that you will get him that “shirt” without the “r”… gasp!…Then I re-read more carefully and realized you meant shirt, with an ‘r’…heh! …Its been a long day…sniffle!

  58. Riö - The Evil
    1:18 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Stover!…Actually, if I remember my Wizard of Oz correctly, Alan plays the Scarecrow who has no brain….wheeze!…We just met the Tin Man who has no heart! …ahhhh!…We still need to meet the Cowardly Lion…yeep!…this is a lot darker than the original… Hey! … There is no Toto! What the heck!?….snort!

  59. Melanie
    1:40 pm on June 21st, 2010

    A "sticky situation?" Knowing PSQA that could mean a multitude of things.

    Honey, molasses, or in a basement with bad guys!!!

  60. Mollypop

    1:53 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Molly!…Maybe I am becoming like her…cough!… I know that someone here has dreams that come true… snort! …When she was a kid it was stronger than now… grunt! …Her whole family is kind of that way… wheeze!… Even her dad knew he would not make it to Fathers Day and said so to her mother last Monday…sniff!

Where’s the Photos?… grunt!…Where are the Speeches!?… wheeze!… I know if I wanted to be Prince of theBlog I would be campaigning my ass off right now…grunt!

    Do you think we should ask them questions like they do in the Miss America pageant? I guess that is with 2 legged's not 4 legged's so maybe not. Still, it would be fun.

    The Librarian took me to two stores today, a quilt shop and a "wild bird" store. Both had dogs guarding their establishments. I didn't go out and get the camera at the quilt store, but I couldn't resist 'Studly' at the wild bird Store. He was a doll.

    He sat up for a treat too. Smart doggie!

    2:09 pm on June 21st, 2010

    In Tin Man I think OZ stands for Outer Zone. MMMM. How dark? I think the series was on the SyFy channel. The original was for children wasn't it.

    Oh…I have to tell everyone about a birthday card I saw in the drug store. A pug is sitting inside an empty pizza box; the top of the box is on his back. He is licking his lips and pieces of crust are all around. The inside says, "Self-discipline is over rated. Happy Birthday."

    We have been busy today, but enjoyed the pictures of everyone. Melanie, the puppies are growing, and glad Gracie is feeling better. Sam, we have a Maltese living down the road. He doesn't look like they do in the shows, but he is way cool, and Mom says he has a big dog personality packed into that little body. He also does lots of tricks that I don't do cause I think they are silly. He will dance and roll over for a piece of cheese!

  67. Riö - The Evil
    2:18 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Stover!…We know that card!…heh!…My friend bought it for her best friends birthday!… snorkel!…I should do greeting cards, I could make a mint!…snicker!

  68. Riö - The Evil
    2:21 pm on June 21st, 2010

    AbbieTheKat!…That would be fun to ask those two questions… snort!snort!…but they are still pups and getting their attention for that long would be grueling… grunt!… I think Princess-like photos and a short speech should do the trick!…heh!

  69. Siberian Husky
    2:26 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Staff, I think asking the girls questions would be a whole lot of fun. A talent contest might also be nice. We need more information than just a photo when it comes time to vote.

    Stover, that birthday card is hilarious. Whoever designed it must personally know Rio.

  70. Riö - The Evil
    2:31 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Princesses!… Hey! If they are up to the task, then lets do the question and answer thing and then the Talent Show!….HA!… But strangely enough, they are missing!… snort!… Hopefully they are busy writing their speeches and posing for Princess-like photos…snorkel! heh! cough! gasp!…Too funny!…wheeze!

    Wookie!… We will need Wookie to MC the whole show!…heh!

  71. Sam
    2:31 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Well ladies, You see we are making it more difficult now.

    You must post a photo. We prefer a close-up.

    You must make a little speech telling us why you would be the best princess.

    We are thinking about the question to ask….

    Hmmm, Rio? Siber-H? Wookie? Dawson? BStover? Any ideas?

    Alice's idea is "What is the purpose of napping?

  73. Riö - The Evil
    2:43 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Opinion!… I think we should give these little girl-pups some time to come up with their campaign…snort!…They need photo shoots and speech writers and then they need to practice their special talent!…heh!…Not to mention all the baths and grooming they will need to look their best!…wheeze!…So lets say Friday night we all gather and see what these two have prepared…. snort!… Lexi, Sammie? Does this sound acceptable to you guys? Or will you be ready sooner than Friday night?… grunt!

    Heh!…Feel free to shoot this idea down down down in a pit of fire!…snort!

  74. AbbietheKitty
    2:47 pm on June 21st, 2010

    I like the Friday Night idea. It will give us time to figure out good questions too.

  75. Lexi
    2:50 pm on June 21st, 2010

  76. Lexi
    2:53 pm on June 21st, 2010

    If this one doesn't work, then I'm going to bite me own tail…

    [img ]http://chetthedog.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/1277164337-Lexi.jpg[/img]

    And possibly-HOPEFULLY-this one MAY work, too, if the first one did…

    [img ]http://chetthedog.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/1277164379-Lexi2.jpg[/img]

    Okay, I'm prepared to bite my own tail right now…so, hanging on with all paws crossed in some way…

    3:00 pm on June 21st, 2010

    You are all barking (and meowing) up the wrong tree. I'm not in a contest to be A princess, I already am THE Princess – the one from Chet's book. In the movie, he is going to carry me by the nape of my neck, gently I hope. I will run with blurry legs and hold my head in a determined manner, which is already how I run, and, well, that's what is needed.

  80. Lexi
    3:00 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Well, if it DID actually work, then yes, Rio. We will be ready by TOMORROW night, in fact, to prepare our speeches and the other crap that you mentioned!!! 🙂 Imma win! You'll all see!! Haha!!! 😛

    Oh my God….I think I've become Megan…

  81. Lexi
    3:02 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Why am I always posting at the same time with someone else? Is this a blessing or is this a curse?

    Sam! He's going to be carrying ME!! Grr! I will hire the Pit-Bully on you and you won't look so Princessy anymore! Ha!

    Just kidding!!! 😛

    Or am I….??

  82. Riö - The Evil
    3:02 pm on June 21st, 2010

    Rio! She actually did help me with my photos. She says I'm a natural!

    3:10 pm on June 21st, 2010

    I run with blurry…ish…legs! I hold my head up in a determined-'weird' as Megan calls it-way when out for walks. I am small-a Hobbit, Megan says, and then laughs(whats a Hobbit, by the way?).My full name-not kidding-is Lexi Eileen Jo Lee Glynn. The Eileen is for our grandma who is in critical condition right now, and the Jo Lee part is because Megan felt like adding it, said it sounded cool, and she wanted to name me Jo Lee when they first brought me home, but Mommy saved me and kept it at Lexi. 🙂 Yay Mommy!

    If that isn't Princess, then what is??

    Oh no! I'm going swimming later again!?

    Well, we are back from the ballpark in time to say goodnight. The Mustangs won their home opener 11 to 4. The most gifted player seemed to be the shortstop named Hamilton. It was a lot of fun and the Librarian and I both had two glasses of fresh squeezed lemonade.

    It was a great night. Much nicer than last night with its tornado.

    Tomorrow we start home.

    Good Night All

    I travelled in a 20 seater airplane down south to the big city of Prince George. I'm taking a course for 2 days so I'll have to check in on this hotel computer at night to see the Princess Debates, the Gracie updates, and, of course, Chet's latest blog.
