This story initially appeared in June 2011. We're reposting in response to the devastating tornadoes that struck Moore, Okla., yesterday. These kinds of building techniques may not have saved all those caught in the path of the monster Moore tornado, but hundreds of twisters hit the United States every year, and smart building strategies and tech can reduce the damage from the great many of those.
This year has blown away the annual average for deadly tornadoes in the U.S. (28) with a barrage that numbers 50 and counting. This April was the worst tornado month on record, and storms throughout the year have ripped through Alabama, Massachusetts, Missouri and elsewhere. And now, as tornado season winds down, the late-summer hurricane season is about to begin.
Ernst Kiesling, professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech University, says there's not much you could do if a tornado scoring a 5 on the EF (enhanced Fujita) scale bears down on your home (and in the case of tornadoes, with their smaller path of destruction, many people would rather gamble with fate than invest in armoring their homes with costly technologies). But if you want to try to brace your home against the howling winds of twisters or hurricanes, there is a spectrum of technologies available, from roof clips and window shutters at the more inexpensive end to reinforcements for doors and walls at the high end. And if you do nothing to safeguard your home, Kiesling says, at the very least, protect your family with an in-home safe room or underground shelter.
If a windstorm product can survive a 15-pound, 12-foot-long 2 x 4 flying horizontally like a 100-mph missile, and also the pressure from 250-mph winds, then the product gets the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) seal of approval. Kiesling's Wind Science and Engineering Research Center (WISE) at Texas Tech has tested a variety of doors to these standards using a huge air bladder that simulates EF5 tornado conditions, creating a list of doors that survived the impact and the wind-pressure challenge. These doors are specifically intended for shelters or safe rooms, but they could certainly be used as entrances in a home, Kiesling says.
The Tech: The StormPro Window Shutter System from Curries Doors is a four-sided frame system and a hollow 16-gauge door with a polyurethane-wrapped 10-gauge steel liner at its core.
DIY-Friendly? Branden Shank, the technical support specialist for Curries Doors, says that if you can drill a hole into concrete and affix anchors, the installation process is simple.
Effectiveness: StormPro was tested at Texas Tech's WISE Center in accordance with FEMA 361, an objective baseline for building tornado and hurricane shelters.
Approximate Cost: $5,520 for materials only--door, frame for a 3-foot-wide by 6-foot 8-inch-high opening, hinges, and concealed multipoint lock--as quoted by Murray Womble, a Curries Doors distributor out of Tulsa, Okla.

Girls team comes out with good times during one of their first meets
The Carbon High boys and girls cross-country teams competed in a meet in Settlement Canyon near Tooele this weekend. The girl's team finished first against teams from Wasatch, Juab, Delta, Juan Diego, Morgan. The boys were able to take second against the same teams.
For Carbon, this is the first time in a long time they have had enough girls compete as a team. They wasted no time in establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with by taking first as a team. Juan Diego and Wasatch are their toughest competitors.
Carbon girls were neck and neck with Juan Diego the entire race, with Regan Powell leading the Dinos with a second place overall finish. Sierra Williams came in next for fourth overall. They both received medals for finishing in the top seven. Diana Olsen, a freshman, Carbon was third for the team with an eight place overall finish. Karissa Nelson and Kayla Petersen completed the race in ninth and 11th. All five Dino varsity girls finished in the top 15. The team ended with a score of 34 points.
The boys team looked strong throughout with Kaleb Kulow coming in first for Carbon and eight place overall. Cody Hunt finished second for the Carbon, followed by Luke Olsen, Justin Hepworth and Austin Pullan. All finished in the top 20.
The Dinos edged out their region rival Wasatch by one point. Wasatch had two athletes in the top 10, but Carbon still finished ahead which is attributed to the depth for the Dino boys.
Coach Telisse Allen summed it up: "Both teams are excited for the season and to see how we stack up to the rest of the region. The boys have their work cut out with Wasatch and, the returning state champs, Park City. The girls are also up against the state champs from Park City, but are ready to have a successful season. We head to Roosevelt on Wednesday to compete against Union, and then Moab on Saturday for the Red Rock Invitational."

It's something no one wants to think about. But, the time will come when almost everyone will have to move their parents or grandparents into an assisted care facility or a nursing home.
A nursing home usually has bedrooms that may be shared or private, and common spaces for eating and activities. Assisted-care facilities often allow for a bit more independence, sometimes offering private apartments for spouses or individuals that include private living and dining rooms. Both fall under the category of "nursing home" because there is typically 24-hour medical help available.
Choosing the right home for a mother, father or other family member can be emotionally taxing. It is often difficult to acknowledge that a child can no longer provide care for an aging relative, and nursing homes can be expensive.
States license nursing homes and monitor them to ensure they comply with the law. Before visiting a facility, a person can find out if the home had any violations of health and safety codes by consulting associations like the AARP (www.aarp.org). Visit the home at different times of the day, unannounced. The staff should never prevent you from examining nursing home conditions. Below are some aspects of a home that anyone will want to check out before making a decision:
Talk to residents. Try to judge whether residents are clean, well-fed and generally in good spirits. Ask how they like living there. Eat a meal in the dining room and look at a weekly menu.
Closely examine the environment. Make sure the bedrooms and common areas are tidy and nicely decorated. Let the nose be the guide. If it detects foul smells, the home may be poorly maintained.
Speak with the administration and staff. Talk to employees to confirm that they are friendly, helpful and attentive. By visiting at different times of day, a person can make sure the facility is well staffed. Find out how many staffers are Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), aides who work with nurses and provide assistance with daily living tasks, reporting on patient well-being to nurses. There should be at least one CNA for every five to eight residents, and more if a large portion of the residents are disabled.
Discuss options for those with special needs. Even if a loved one is self-sufficient now, plan for the future by choosing a home with facilities for special needs. Many residents need help at mealtime, and there should be a separate dining room where workers help those people eat. Residents too weak to get out of bed should be personally assisted by a staff member. If food trays are simply dropped off with residents, the home is doing an inadequate job.
Ask about cost. Some nursing home residents pay for nursing home costs out of pocket, while others require government assistance to cover the payments. If a loved one's care requires financial assistance, check to make sure that the facility has all of its beds covered by Medicaid.
Taking the time to carefully select a nursing home can make all the difference. Finding the right home ensures the comfort of loved ones in their later years and will bring the family peace of mind as well.
Looking at long term care
Most people envision themselves as young and healthy. No one wants to think that someday they may be unable to eat, bathe or get dressed on their own, or that they could have a disesase like Alzheimer's. Long-term care is what a person would need to help them perform daily activities if they had an ongoing illness or disability. One may be in their home, an assisted living facility or a nursing home. In fact, about 60 percent of people who reach 65 will need long-term care at some point.
But of course, it comes with a price. According to the Federal Long-term Care Insurance Program, the average nursing home stay is 2.6 years and the national annual cost of a semi-private room is $52,000. Nursing home costs go up about 5 percent each year. By the year 2030, they are estimated to reach nearly $200,000.
So who will pay for it? A persons adult children may be financially unable. Medicare covers only a limited amount of care after a hospital stay, and Medicaid will apply only when savings run out. Health insurance covers medical care for illness, injuries or hospital stays. Disability insurance replaces only the income a person loses if they can't work after an accident or injury.
However, there is help available. Long-term care insurance can cover the cost of this care and protect an individuals assets. Once one qualifies, They'll remain eligible as long as they pay their premiums. Apply as soon as possible; the premium is based on the age when a person gets the insurance, and it usually stays at that rate. In most cases, one cannot qualify for long-term care insurance if they are already ill. Remember -- long-term care insurance claims may be paid 10 or 20 years after the policy is written. That's why it's a good idea to choose a stable insurance company with a history of writing long-term care policies. Check with ratings services before making a choice. When shopping around, look for a policy that can be customized with the right combination of benefits for the individual. Some of these include the following.
Location of care: in the person's home, in a nursing home, in an adult day center or in an assisted living facility
Type of care: skilled nursing care, custodial care, home health aides
Options for benefits (pay monthly or daily) and length of coverage
Flexibility in applying benefits
The number of days that a person pays before a policy benefits begins, (ranging from 30 to 365 days)
Coverage of mental illness such as Alzheimer's

Slow Cooker Shredded Korean Beef Tacos
I can tell you've been really good lately. And because of that you deserve a really, really good crockpot recipe.

I'm a new follower of your blog. I love my slow cooker and am so excited to try out your recipes!

- LoriD said...
Oh, YUM!
- November 2, 2011 at 11:03 AM
- Tiphanie Wong said...
I can't wait to try this! My kids had a sample of Korean tacos at Costco (they came in a package w/all the ingredients, already cooked), and begged me to buy it, but I wanted to make it myself, and now I have a recipe. Thanks!
- November 2, 2011 at 11:46 AM
- Diane Eblin-thewholegang said...
Love how much flavor you packed into this easy to make meal. Yum!
- November 2, 2011 at 11:59 AM
- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
Oh, these are going on the menu very soon! I just bought a couple of chunks of beef that would be perfect for this! Thanks!
- November 2, 2011 at 12:01 PM
- grimes said...
YUM. I did giggle at first because i read like 'shredded Korean' instead of 'shredded Korean Beef'...your recipe sounds much better and much more humane ;)
- November 2, 2011 at 12:11 PM
- Amie said...
I HAVE been good and that sounds delish. I have all the ingredients except the beef...might have to go on the ol' shopping list. Thanks!

Sounds great!! Love your recipes!

We eat lots of tacos in this house so I'm super excited to have a new recipe to add to the rotation. Plus, I might actually check out the Korean taco truck now if it crosses my path!

You had me at "not mediocre." I've been eating so many "eh" dishes lately that I could really go for something easy but that packs a yummy punch.

- Kathy said...
This goes to the top of the "must make" list! We do Asian-style coleslaw a lot -- it's really great with a little roasted szechuan peppercorns and sesame oil added, too.

- R. Dorrian6 said...
Ok silly question, Rice wine vinegar? Can I substitute another kind that I have in my pantry? Like plain white vinegar or balsamic? I obviously know nothing about vinegar to ask this question. But I have to many random spices I've bought in the past for one recipe or another that I don't use. Tulmeric is one. Bought for a recipe, and lost the recipe. So it sits sad and unloved in my pantry cause I don't know what to do with it. LOL!

Thanks for this recipe, I've been wanting a sloww cooker Asian style recipe! I want this now, but I guess I make it this weekend.

Would this recipe work with chicken? Any thoughts?

We have many gourmet Korean Taco trucks in our area and I love the tacos! Alas, I don't always have time to get to those trucks so I'll definitely try this at home.

Just made this tonight. Fantastic! I subbed sriracha for jalpenos to save time.
- November 6, 2011 at 8:02 AM
I just made this last night, and it turned out really great! Not too spicy, but I also didn't add all the jalapeno seeds. A great, salty-sweet flavor that really let the beef shine through. Thanks for the recipe!
Don't be like me and forget to heat up those corn tortillas before dishing up the beef and cabbage!
- November 6, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Oh wow. This was really good and easy.
- November 6, 2011 at 6:12 PM
- Amie said...
Made it just as described and it was super good and easy and perfect for a Sunday afternoon dinner! I was a little worried about the addition of the jalapenos, but I didn't add any seeds and it was just fine, not to spicy at all. I gave the fam of options of rice or coleslaw and there was a mixed vote. (I tried the slaw and liked it!) Thanks for another good one. :) (PS, mine was done after 7 hours on low, and could have possibly been done sooner, easy peasy to shred)
- November 6, 2011 at 6:15 PM
- Gretchen said...
Get out of town! I have just stumbled into heaven! I'm a slow cooker fanatic but the recipes are always so similar and lame. These are outstanding! My family size is growing very soon so I'm thinking I'm due for a new "pot". What brand do you recommend for a lifetime of slow cooking goodness?
- November 6, 2011 at 6:50 PM
I LOVED smelling this all day long! I even took a nap and could smell it in my sleep--yum! I liked smelling it much more than I liked eating it. It was OK. Something different. But the flavors I smelled all day didn't come through as strongly as I'd hoped. (Might add more ginger next time?) I made the cabbage slaw and enjoyed the meal as tacos. I also made brown rice and served it to my daughter with that. She raved about it. She has always enjoyed pot roast in the crockpot. My son didn't like it. He was late coming for dinner so didn't eat with us. He also admitted that he'd gone to Subway for a sandwich. I suspect that was more the reason why he didn't "like" it.
I will probably make it again. Especially since I have many of the ingredients now.

This was great - and there are enough for lunch left overs tomorrow. Yay!
- November 6, 2011 at 8:05 PM
This looks amazing, unfortunately I cannot eat red meat. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute that wouldn't change the recipe directions too much?
- November 7, 2011 at 10:36 AM
I have this recipe in the slow cooker. It is 5:00 on the dot, a few more minutes of work, a painful commute, and then *fingers crossed * a yummy dinner. I didn't have any ginger, so I left it out - I hope it is not a fatal mistake. I also didn't have a jalapeno, so I put a bunch of red pepper flakes, some Tabasco, and several dried peppers in the mix. It should be pretty spicy!
Soooo hungry!
- November 7, 2011 at 2:59 PM
- Nicole said...
I made this tonight and it was great! My husband is pretty picky about trying new things, and he said that I can make it again :) Plus had other ideas on what we could eat the meat with! Yay for a successful dinner!Thanks!
- November 7, 2011 at 6:17 PM
- Diane C said...
Made this Sunday and love all the flavor in the beef; family loved it too. The slaw was not a hit though. Think I'll try a creamy mix next time.
- November 8, 2011 at 12:23 PM
- Celeste B. said...
I made this last night and it was amazing. I subbed about 2 Tbl. sambal olek for the jalapeno and it wasn't hot. Next time I will add more. I just used some Sriracha on the tacos when I ate them to spice it up.
R.Dorrian--- I used white vinegar because I was low on rice wine vinegar and was saving what I had for the cole slaw. It was fine.
- November 9, 2011 at 4:15 AM
- Gretchen Bauder said...
We had these for dinner tonight. They were yummy! We used lettuce instead of tortillas. We put a little white rice in the lettuce wrap with the cabbage and meat.
I'm going to put this in our recipe box. It's sure to become a family staple.
- November 9, 2011 at 8:14 PM
- Janne said...
This was absolutely, positively fantastic!!! We all loved it, even my picky 18 year old! I made it today for a client, I am a caregiver, and I think he will really enjoy it. Thank you SO SO much! It's a definite keeper and one to pass on to all of my friends!

This was great I have tired quite a few recipes from your blog and this was the best one so far. I was a little worried about the pepper being to hot but it wasn't at all!!!!

So I don't need to add any water or broth to this? My roast is mostly out of the ingredients and just a small layer of soy/vinegar/oil in the bottom?
I'm very new...
- November 12, 2011 at 8:44 AM
Same question as above...seems like very little liquid in the pot. Will it cook off? Do I need to add more liquid? Thanks!

@stubbornman, @SM
no, no additional liquid is required. The meat will give off moisture, and cook in it's own juices. If you have a pot that doesn't seal well (you should see condensation built up on the lid), you can fix this by laying down a piece of foil over the stoneware, then put the lid on to seal in all the steam/moisture.
if you do this, be careful removing the foil, the steam will shoot out!
hope this helps a bit, steph

mmm I make these all the time although I use an actual bulgogi marinade :) Also a couple things that might spicy up your coleslaw... I add a bit of honey, some ginger, and some sesame oil to the vinegarette.. just adds some fun flavors.

Holy Mackeral, these were amazing. I know you hear this all the time, but your blog has changed my life. I'm a surgeon, married to a surgeon, with a two year old and a newborn...and now I actually feed my family everyday, instead of ordering pizza or grabbing mcdonalds. Thank you.

Made half recipe, didn't have a jalapeno, so subbed chili paste about 1/2 tsp. Flavor was very good. Served with brown rice. Will make again!

This recipe looks really tasty! I'll have to give it a try.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:13 AM
Hmmm. I must have done something wrong--I did half the recipe, since I only had a 1.8 lb. roast, but my meat was totally a burnt, sticky mess. Bummer--it smelled good, but this ended up being a PB&J and cereal night.
- November 15, 2011 at 11:22 AM
I made this today and used a 3.5 pound pork butt instead of beef. It was wonderful! My whole family loved it.
I have been using recipes from your blog for a couple of years now and have never been disappointed! Thanks!
- November 15, 2011 at 7:17 PM
This is super tasty!!! I can't wait to try it again tomorrow after it's sat in the "gravy" overnight. Mmm! You could pair this with any starch and it would be great, but I just ate it over shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes and it was awesome!
- November 16, 2011 at 5:21 PM
This is a great, easy recipe. I substituted pork loin for beef and it was inhaled! my only complaint was that my jalapeno was kinda lame, lol. We even made the slaw and my daughter made quite the dent in that.
Will definitely be making this again. Thanks Steph!

Made this a couple of days ago. I bought the wrong cut of meat - they must have had the expensive, nice cuts of meat on sale - somehow I ended up with some really marbled, bone in beef somethings - they would have been great on a grill. Anyway, I tossed them in. I had most of the ingredients - no ginger to be found in the house (where did it go?) and forgot to buy jalapenos so I just dumped a bunch of red chili flakes in instead.
It was fantastic! Quite greasy, which was entirely my fault in buying the wrong cut of meat. Otherwise, perfect. The sweet, spicy, salty, meaty flavor in a taco? Yes please!
- November 18, 2011 at 9:18 PM
New user to the site and I'm loving it!!Made these Tacos the other night and they turned out awesome. Didn't change a thing to the recipe. For sure cut off any excess fat on the roast. Both my husband and 13 yr-old son loved this and said we need to keep this recipe in our monthly rotation. It was even better the next day. Some were asking if there is enough liquid....there is more than enough liquid when it cooked. My son even had some of the liquid to "dunk" his taco into. THANKS for the recipe and I look forward to trying more from your site.

Oh my goodness! Made this today and LOVE it. So easy and delicious. Thank you! It's so nice to have a slow cooker meal that doesn't include canned tomatoes - I'll be making a lot more of your recipes :)

Wow, these are REALLY good. And the slaw I could eat all by itself. My 11-year-old claims he loves cabbage after eating the slaw. And, I've passed this recipe onto my sister-in-law and they eat it all the time now! Thanks for such great recipes Stephanie!

We're making this for the 3rd time this month! We used a chuck roast the first time and served on fajita tortillas, the second time we used the same beef but turned them into kaiser roll sandwiches with provolone cheese and baked in the oven - YUM! And today (special for our 4 year old's birthday! she loves this recipe!) we're making it with chicken breast and will again add to kaiser rolls with the provolone.
This is a total hit! Thanks Stephanie!
- January 21, 2012 at 10:05 AM
A friend made this and brought it into work. It is, in fact, incredibly delicious. She's an excellent cook anyway, so combining her skills with this recipe was bound to be a success.

I made a double batch for a party of 15 people, and everybody loved it. Excellent stuff! I also created a nice Asian-inspired coleslaw that compliments it nicely as a toping. See link for details.

Thanks for the recipe. I found your site through Kalyn's Kitchen (kaylynskitchen.com) and I'm so glad I did! This was terrific and everyone loved it. I've recently rediscovered my 30-year-old crockpot and am on the hunt for from-scratch recipes. Thanks for the great ideas.

- Deanna Foote said...
I made these and everyone really loved the meat, I just didn't care for it in taco form, which surprised me because I've wanted to try something like this for a long time. I made some sticky rice and served the meat over that and there was none left, so that's how I'll serve this from now own. Thanks for the recipe to add to my slow-cooker repertoire!

Put this on last night, just shreaded it up this morning (I'm actually in Korea, so never had these Korean tacos I've read about as they're a Korean-American thing). I should have trimmed the fat, lots of juice so I reduced it a bit.
Flavor is good, I put in 2 habaneros instead of jalapeno as I like things spicy. Still not terribly spicy, which is good since I'm the only one that likes spicy.
Going to take it down to my bar tonight, they have a microbrew event coming up with a kind of spicy beer that needs a good, matching, side dish. This might just be what they're looking for to go with the beer.

This is cooking as I type this and the smell is amazing. Feeding some hungry men tonight while.we (hopefully) see US Mens Soccer defeat Mexico. Thank you for the recipe. I am an avid reader of your blog.

This looks really good, but I guess I should be the first to say that it isn't Korean, just spicy beef taco wraps. Try making it with ssamjang, which is what the Korean taco trucks use.

I've been making this recipe since I started reading the blog a year ago and it is a family favorite, especially for large groups. We've also used the same method with pork shoulder and it's just as good. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!

Do the whole garlic stay in the recipe in the end? I just picture myself biting into a whole clove.
- March 10, 2013 at 4:12 PM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi flemishe, the cloves are whole, but they soften and are mellow in flavor and kind of dissolve when the meat is shredded. I promise you won't crunch into a garlic clove!

Hi new to slow cooking so beginners question. you call for 6 quart pot, mine is 4 quarts. How do I adjust?
- March 23, 2013 at 7:50 AM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi LMum, no problem! Use 2/3 of all the ingredients --- it'll be too much for a 4 quart as written and will overfill your pot.
happy slow cooking!

Though most conventionally produced personal care products can easily be switched out for organic products, certain items still receive a skeptical response from consumers. Organic deodorants are often met with more uncertainty than other body care products. This wary reaction is most likely due to our familiarity with antiperspirants and the way they perform. Most women have used deodorant for years without a second thought. It's time to rethink switching to a organic deodorant without aluminum and other harmful ingredients such as parabens, propylene glycol, synthetic fragrance and petrochemicals. The real danger is that antiperspirants and deodorants are products the majority of us apply each and every day. So, we are constantly exposed to these harmful chemicals.
Aluminum salts are a form of metal and work by blocking the pores that produce perspiration, hence their use in anti-perspirants. They may be listed in the ingredients on the bottle as aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium. While this may give us a sense of security where dryness is concerned, aluminum is considered a neurotoxin that can potentially cause DNA damage. Aluminum salts is listed in The Environmental Working Group Skin Deep Database as a human nervous system toxicant. Studies have also shown that aluminum salts mimic estrogen in our bodies and have been found in their intact forms in the tumors of breast cancer patients. And breast cancer is not the only disease linked to aluminum. The ingredient is also suspected of increasing risk of Alzheimer's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia. Scientists have found plaques in the brains of some patients suffering from the disease, and research is beginning to show that aluminum may contribute to the formation of plaques in the human brain. This doesn't make you feel so secure once you know what goes into most popular storebrand deoderants!
There are safer alternatives and though they may not behave like the products you are used to, your body will adjust to the natural ingredients. Natural deodorants actually provide longer lasting odor control than the synthetic variety and you can feel good knowing only healthy ingredients are applied to your skin. Lavera soft roll-on deodorant is aluminum and alcohol-free and will not clog pores or irritate the skin. Lavera Spa deodorants minimizes perspiration and absorb wetness with natural bamboo and cotton fibers. Bamboo has proven antibacterial properties to help combat odor, and its soft, smooth composition makes it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin. Lavera uses organic extracts from fennel and calendula to provide a clean, fresh scent. All that uncertainty about switching to an effective organic deodorant can be laid to rest. Lavera Deodorant Roll-on comes in four appealing scents in the Body Spa line: Milk & Honey, Vervain & Lime, Wild Rose, Orange-Sea Buckthorn. And there is the long-standing customer favorite Basis deodorant as well.
You may still be concerned about the wetness factor. The bottom line is that most over-the-counter antiperspirants will not keep you bone dry in a pulse pounding situation. And even if you do sweat a little bit, which is the body's natural way of keeping cool, you will smell fresher when using a product with natural ingredients than those with chemical scents.
Tip: If you are truly in need of added dryness protection try patting on a small amount of baking soda after you have applied the roll-on. This should help to absorb excess moisture.
Natural deodorants are a healthy way to stay fresh all day.
