Move in – Move out Cleaners
You know what its like, you've spent all day packing up and getting things moved out, then you've the unpacking to do when you reach your new home. The last thing you want to do is clean the house before you leave, although you do probably want the one you're moving into to be spotless!!
We'll clean your old home after you move out or your new one before you move in saving you the time and hassle of doing it yourself. You concentrate on the moving bit and let us worry about the cleaning.
What are the benefits of hiring cleaning services?
Hiring a cleaning service when you move home ensures that you'll be handing over a sparkling clean house to the landlord or new owner. This is particularly important if you are in rented accommodation as you'll want to have your deposit returned in full.
Using the services of cleaning professionals is also helpful for your new home as well as your old one, as we can make sure that it's ready for you to move in to, because you never really know how dirty a house is until it's empty and it's too late once the removal men start unloading. If you're moving into a new build then we can make sure that all the remnants of dust from the build are removed so that the house is as fresh and clean as it can be for your arrival.
Time is never on your side on moving day. While you have so many things to concentrate on (packing, organising, children, etc.) we will focus all of our attention on the cleaning. We'll clean areas that many people will miss or not bother with, leaving the place spotless.

Through Your Eyes...
Quite possibly the heaviest material I've ever seen. I will comment on this video from a psychological perspective and not in regard to the issue of the "cochlear implant fix"...we've already over-debated the subject. The video gave me a profound sensitivity check in regard to how my blog may be viewed and perceived by members of the Deaf Community. I write to inform and provide resources through my experiences with my son. Having seen this, I can appreciate how the material I write can be offensive- the photo of the doctors with the thumbs up was horrifying. The picture of the surgery...disturbing.
Very thought-provoking video.

It was an extreme way to bring awareness to hearing people who opt to have CI surgery done on their deaf children. I'm not sure I agree with it as it misses a great point.
This point is, being Deaf isn't the tragedy that many would suppose it to be. All the reasons people give for the CI can be countered by producing Deaf people who can do that same thing without need for aids or implants.
Other than that, I'm very interested in what parents have to say about this clip. Do watch it all the way to the O.Henry ending.

Hi Dianrez...this video has generated a lot of commentary on the Ci Circle where I found it. I posted one of my reactions because it touched that nerve. It is extreme propoganda in regard to Anti-Ci and from what I've read, the person who posted it is not very open to discussion.
I'm tired of the same old debate, either people understand or they don't. Who searches information can now find it...that was a missing link.
- September 25, 2009 at 5:05 PM
I know Jodi.
Could you please give me a link of the CI circle? I'd love to hear their reactions.
I'm with you when I saw his video. It's horrifying.

I thought the video was well-made and thought-provoking. (I disagree with the message and I think it's a simplistic and flawed analogy, but that's not my point here.) What really bothered me was all of the factually inaccurate claims made in the comments section, and also how bizarrely hostile lagunazurfer was to anyone who didn't agree with him. Based on the video, you would think that he's a very clear-headed person and rational person, but in the comments he came across as paranoid and obsessed with conspiracies. He struck me as someone embittered by his life's experiences -- which doesn't make his case any stronger. Dianrez makes a far stronger case in just one calm, rational paragraph than he does by venomous ranting.

Jodi-Oh my God!!!! I am in utter shock that this deaf guy would change his hearing child and force him to become deaf. He supposedly did that just so that his wife and him would feel comfortable in having a child that is deaf instead of a hearing one. Why destroy children's hearing?? There is no need to. It is already a hard world out there, and by not having cochleas, even that said child wouldn't be able to have cochlear implant surgery. The parents forced that said child to be deaf against his will. It is just absoutely disgusting, and i'm horrified even though I am deaf myself. Whatever children are, regardless of "hearing status", they should be left alone. However, if they are deaf and the family is hearing or whatever, then they should CIs. Again, another however, cochlear implants may not work for everyone depending on the family's background and stuff. YIKES. I'm disgusted at the moment and at the end, it showed his dog. WTF. I'm appalled that he would even fabricate a story, to such a point where its insulting.
again, oh my god.

Just now received a note from the CI Circle refusing my application to join their group as it is only for parents of CI children and their associates.
While I respect that and would not have sent responses to this listserv, I was sorry not to see the responses of parents to those two controversial videos.
It might have been illuminating how they see the Deaf community and wake us up to those of us who unnecessarily alienate parents.

Dianrez, it was a really interesting discussion on cicircle, and a some of it had to do with perceptions/misconceptions about being Deaf. I learned a lot from it and was motivated to read some online articles, and (when I get a chance) I'm going to discuss some of what I learned on my blog. I can't share details from the cicircle discussions because it's against house rules, but it might satisfy a little of your curiosity. Jodi, sorry to take up real estate on your blog with a plug for my own -- please delete if this is a problem.

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing

Good one, me.
So I'm sitting here playing Minesweeper when I come to a section of the grid where I have to fully guess where the bombs are. There is no algorithm, there are no clues, it's just pure guesswork for about 7 or 8 bombs.
(Yes, this is a post about Minesweeper. Deal with it.)
I made it through the guesswork without a hitch, cleared the whole corner area, and literally thought to myself "Wow, that was a real minefield!"
Then I realised what the game is called.

Yesterday my dad got the shirt that I mailed him. I know this because he woke me up at 10 a.m. with a phone call. When I answered said phone call, I got an earful of him singing.

Goals of an amateur songwriter
It's a new goal of mine to write one of those songs where like, five months after it's released, everybody goes "THAT'S what it's about?!?" But not in a "Pumped-Up Kicks is about gang violence?!" way, more like a "Gwen Stefani wrote a song about getting her wisdom teeth out?!" way. Silliness, in other words. No idea what I'm going to write yet, though. Maybe a thoughtful ballad about going to the laundromat because I don't want to give my landlord another $3 just to do a load of laundry. Or an up-tempo, feel-good groove about how my rats constantly fight over food and keep me awake at night.
You know, something random.

Demonstrative Compact Disc!
My band finally got the demo CD together! Wheeee! Now untolled (untold?) masses of disinterested people can listen to unsolicited alternative/prog rock in a variety of languages! Remember such goodies as "The Flood," "Chairs," or "Bloc Quebecois"? Me neither! And the best part is, the song named after the BQ isn't even the French one! C'est incroyable!
If I can figure out how to harass your ears with some sweet sweet synthesized vibes and harpsichords you can bet your bippy I'll be all over that in the next post. Nothing like 18 hour improv instrumental solos to really make a listener uncomfortable. (And make a singer feel extraneous.)

Someone was bored in the office…
I ordered a shirt for my dad off 6dollartees. It shipped today, and here is the message I got in my email to confirm shipping:
Our minions have looked over and dropped their jaws in awe at the genius
that is your amazing fashion sense. It takes true genius to pick such
impeccable design and color combinations, so naturally our crews' first
instincts were to wear Kennedy masks, stick your order under their shirts
and flee. Luckily shock collars and therefore self-restraint have been put
to use and your order is safely packaged.
After the shocking and 'Don't tase me, bro's were over, a ceremonial
candle was lit and suddenly the entire 6dollarshirts crew felt a massive
amount of dopamine release in their brains as our shipping specialist
tenderly placed the shipping label containing the following request:
[my dad's shipping info]
As the package was sent on its way to you, our entire staff skipped out
into the street and did a full out 5-minute Von Trapp family dance routine
as we sang "So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu," in 18-part harmony.
For the grand finale, Juggy hit the final "Goodbye" note and did a
cartwheel landing in a split.
We hope you enjoyed shopping on our website as much as we enjoyed
packaging and sending you your goods. We also hope this shipment
notification won't leave you wondering where your package is as the
6dollarshirts Crew was VERY thorough with their shipping instructions.
Please practice precautions upon the arrival of your 6dollarshirts. Side
effects include but are not limited to: Larger biceps, defined cheek
bones, increased sexual prowess, thick luscious.. hair, attaining wealth,
promotions at work, rapid increase of IQ points, winning lottery numbers,
fat loss and double rainbows.
After this beautiful email, they invited me to send "sick and sexified pictures" of the shirt being worn. Seeing as it'll be my dad in a Trololo shirt, I don't think I'll take them up on their offer.

On the Radio
Since that phrase is evocative of several songs, I'll let you pick your earworm of choice and be stuck with it for the rest of the day. You're welcome.
The title's relevance is as follows: This Monday, January 16th, at 11 am, I have been invited to join CIUT (the U of T's radio station) for an interview about U of T Idol! I'm not sure how long the interview will be, but I'll be talking (presumably) about music and my involvement with the stuff, how I got hooked, the pusher man, etc., and I might be giving a demonstration about how to use it (i.e. they mentioned I might get to sing a few bars of the song I sang at the prelim round, Melanie C's First Day of my Life).
If you happen to be right next to U of T on Monday, tune in to 89.5 fm at 11 am to hear me probably babble a lot, mistake my words, and try very hard not to accidentally horribly offend the three people who are listening. (In my defence, they had it coming.)

More blogs, dieting, technology, OCD and rats: A day in the life
So, statistically it seems that the more posts I write, the more views I get. Weird, that. My blogging's kinda fallen flat over the holidays, but one in a slew of resolutions I made up last week is to write more. Easy when I don't have a job. A, so that my blog becomes somewhat interesting (the more posts, the more likely one of them will be interesting) and B, so that I can get ready for grad school (if I'm accepted, and spend the next few months till September weeping alternately in joy and despair). (Come to think of it, that'll be the response no matter WHAT the outcome, so I may as well start stocking up on tissue now…)
Another resolution was to lose the 14 pounds I've gained since summer. So far, not going very well. Granted, I only resolved this last Tuesday, after eating an entire bucket of pulled pork poutine and having my stomach decide that was all I was allowed to eat for the day; but since last Tuesday I've lost 3 pounds and decided that Tuesdays will not only be comic days, but cheat days. This will entirely cause me to remember to update comics regularly, as I most likely stuff my face with as many carbs will fit at a time. Carbs = comics. And possibly coronaries, depending on which oil is used to fry them mercilessly.
A resolution I really should make is learning not to be afraid of technology. My beloved 7 year old phone died by beheading almost a year ago, and the phone I've had since (still a flip phone) has encountered more physical damage than any phone known to mankind, yet – and this is the strange part – I have not once dropped, hit, soaked, crushed, stepped on or even so much as dampened it. Yet despite my care of it, it is currently being shipped back to Nokia to have its USB charging port reinserted. Yes, that's right – the charging port fell out. How does that even happen? Especially to a phone that still has its plastic screen protector still on it. Anyway, the point of this long paragraph is to explain that I am terrified of the loaner smartphone they've given me. QWERTY keyboards don't work with just thumbs! My nails make an odd clicky sound that I hate and the screen is so big and what protects it when it doesn't have a cover to flip down? A text from my brother derides me first for being a hipster, then when the truth is revealed, for just being too plain stupid to use this thingummybobber. My denture glue is enough technology for me.
One more final resolution that I just came up with now: stop being so damn OCD. I once read a book where a girl developed extreme OCD and then through sheer will power became OCD about losing her OCD. For example, she would dare herself NOT to touch the doorknob three times before leaving a room, and eventually, NOT touching doorknobs became her tendency. Unless she had to use them, I assume. I also forget which book this is, so I don't remember how it ends, but if she ends up dying of bacterial infection after NOT washing her hands constantly, this resolution's off.
(Bonus points to anyone who can spot the OCD tendency I ignored in this post… I'm off to a good start!)
P.S. Rat update… the stripey dominant son is named Buster, the spotty adventurous son is named Bowser, and the cinnamon blue hooded Papa used to be named Barney (but for some reason I kept calling him Bryan) so now his name is Babydaddy. Nice and simple and alliterative.

The Difference Between Remanufactured and Reconditioned Engines
The terms 'remanufacturing' and 'reconditioning' of vehicle engines are often confused in the motor industry, as well as by consumers. As a leading engine remanufacturer for over 50 years, this document explains the differences.
Remanufacturing and reconditioning or 'reman engines' and 'recon engines' are poles apart when it comes to the actual process involved and the resulting quality of the product.
Reconditioned Engines
A reconditioned engine is one that has been stripped down either partially or fully, cleaned and possibly had some damaged components replaced prior to being rebuilt.
Remanufactured Engines
A remanufactured or reman engine has been returned to the vehicle manufacturer's or remanufacturers approved specifications through an extensive and audited process.
Key Features Of The
Remanufactured Engine
A remanufactured engine is required to meet specific SABS standards. Petrol engines need to adhere to the SANS10278:2005 standard and diesel engines need adhere to the SANS10274:2005 standard. These standards explain the procedures and operations for the remanufacturing of both petrol and diesel engines.
These processes include the detailed inspection and checking of components against manufacturer tolerances. Key parts, including pistons and ring sets, big and small end bearings and bushes, as well as gaskets, seals, timing chains and drive belts are all required to be renewed, while items such as tensioners and dampers are also required to be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Further important operations, such as intensive cleaning, crack testing machined components and the deburring of reworked oil pathways, are also undertaken to ensure the original specification of the engine is achieved with full reliability. In addition to having all key clearances, tolerances and end floats checked after assembly, the standard also requires complete reman engines to be checked for oil pressure and compression. Remtec Manufacturing takes the high standard demanded by SANS10278:2005 and SANS10274:2005 a step further by combining it with a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015 to ensure that customers are provided with a consistently high standard of quality, product reliability and service.
Remanufactured engines built by Remtec Manufacturing also offer the additional advantage of having their own unique serial number, which provides an audit trail for all of the components that have been renewed, as well the remanufacturing completion date and test records.
Therefore, an engine can only be described as 'remanufactured' if it complies with SANS10278:2005 and SANS10274:2005. It provides a clear distinction between engines that are professionally remanufactured and those that are classed as inferior recon engines.
Mandatory operations
and procedures include:
Cylinder Head
- Every cylinder head is inspected for cracks.
- Engines with OHC configurations have the camshaft bores measured for size, ovality, taper and alignment and are either restored to OEM specification or scrapped.
- Valve guides are measured for wear and either resized or renewed to conform to original tolerances.
- Valve seats are machined to retain the correct seat angles, widths, valve heights and valve seating concentric with the centre line of the valve guide bore.
- Valves are 100% replaced.
- All valve springs are tested for squareness, free height and compressed load length.
- Cylinder heads are checked for distortion and thickness.
- When machining the cylinder head face, attention is paid to maintaining the surface finish specified by the gasket manufacturer.
Cylinder Block
- When re-facing the cylinder block, attention is paid to the surface finish and deck height.
- Each cylinder block is re-bored or re-sleeved and honed to give the precise surface finish and cross-hatch required.
- All main housings are measured for size, ovality, taper and alignment and machined as required.
- Big end housings are measured for size and ovality and are re-sized as necessary.
- Small end bushes are measured and replaced if found to be outside OEM specification.
- All con-rods are checked for alignment and retained in a set for assembly.
- Camshafts are either replaced with a new unit or cleaned, polished, inspected and re-used without altering profiles
- After grinding, all crankshafts are polished to produce the exact dimensions and surface finish required.
- Seal diameters and nose ends are also measured and, if necessary, reclaimed.
- Blended radii, thrust wear and alignment are also checked.
- Oil galleries are de-burred and thoroughly cleaned.
New Components
- All remanufactured engines are equipped with new pistons, piston pins, piston rings, mains and con-rod bearings, timing chain or belt gaskets, oil seals, core plugs and oil filter.
- These new components are carefully selected for their durability and reliability and are sourced from the same producers that supply the vehicle manufacturers.
- All diesel pumps and injectors are remanufactured to perform to OEM specifications and to SANS10166:2009 for the remanufacture of diesel fuel injection equipment.
- Every engine is tested in a purpose-built test cell and subjected to a series of checks, the results of which are recorded against each engine's specific serial number.
Oil Pump
- The clearance between the pump's body and rotor are measured (gears are 100% replaced if the oil pump is re-used.
- The oil pressure relief valve is dismantled and cleaned and all non-conforming parts are replaced.
The result being, remanufactured engines provide levels of performance, reliability and lifespan that are equal to and, in many instances exceed, those of the original. Most importantly, a remanufactured unit is absolutely not a reconditioned or recon engine.

A Hot Minute with Whoopi
Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to MADE Fashion Week – just last season she was the front row queen at Jeremy Scott – but it was still a sweet treat to see her at Marissa Webb's F/W 15 show. We managed to steal a minute with her backstage to get her two cents on the collection.
What did you think of the show?
I loved the show. I just have to lose weight so I can wear the show, but it's fantastic – I love it.
It's good to see you back here because I know you come to a lot of the MADE Fashion Week shows.
I do. I missed being at fashion week. I love Milk and I'm very happy to be here.
Are you going to come to any more shows this week?
Probably next week for me because I'll have my granddaughter with me again so it'll be fun.
Cool! That's a perfect activity to share with your granddaughter.
Well I think so!

How Funeral Stationery Has Changed
Funeral stationery is evolving. With new technology advances, personalized funeral stationery has made huge strides. Funeral professionals now have the ability to offer client families an almost unlimited selection for a truly personalized and complete set of funeral stationery. This new technology has eased the worries of cost, inventory, the difficulty of production, and timeliness for funeral homes as well.
Traditionally, a funeral home would purchase pre-printed paper for the stationery. A funeral home may have only had a few options for families to choose from because of the cost to stock and inventory each design and each individual item. Re-orders had to be managed and timed perfectly so as not to run out of a particular item. To add to the issue, suppliers required minimum orders, which meant large, expensive outlays. Managing the inventory, repetitively inputting the deceased's information for each piece of stationery, and controlling costs consumed large blocks of time.
The prehistoric days of funeral stationery are gone for good. Today, funeral stationery can be quickly and easily printed on demand from blank, perforated stock using software-driven layouts. Now, client families are able to choose from a wide variety of personalization options and funeral homes no longer need to inventory pre-printed stock. Everything needed — funeral register book pages, memorial folders, prayer cards, acknowledgments, bookmarks, signs, DVD packaging, and even candles all can be printed in this manner.
Not only does the new funeral software include more than 500 pre-designed and pre-formatted design layouts, the software also is compatible with certain funeral home management software, such as SRS Computing. Therefore, funeral home client families receive a high level of personalization with templates for virtually every interest, hobby, occupation, and religious background included. Funeral homes are able to input the deceased's information once and the stationery software does the rest.
Using the funeral home's own printing equipment, this print-on-demand stationery is a particularly attractive feature for not locking a funeral home into printing a particular sum if it isn't necessary. With this type of specialized software, a funeral home can print only what's needed, when it's needed, and know the result will be the most professional, low-cost, and fully customized funeral printing available.
Funeral stationery has always been an important facet of the funeral service. The stationery not only serves as a keepsake for those who were present at the service, it also allows funeral home client families to better honor, celebrate, remember, and tell the life story. To have a solution that can quickly, easily, and cost-effectively create the most personalized funeral stationery is to be able to offer the best possible keepsake for client families.
To personalize all your memorial keepsakes — including funeral stationery — download Tribute Center right now.

One year ago today I woke up planning on catching one of my favourite bands (Mother, Mother) at Stampede… instead I wound up in the hospital with a broken pelvis. It was just one of the many struggles I have had to over-come in this last year-or-so period of my life.. basically ever since I started the blog (when I got laid-off from my long time retail-manager position) things have been constantly crazy and changing. I can only hope they keep changing, because as hard as this last year has been, I have grown so much, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I am thankful for the blog and the support I have received here as well, it has made this year much better for me! Its really interesting to me to see what I wrote, where I was mentally exactly a year ago, so if nothing less the blog has provided an excellent diary.
I have always known that following my passion for riding could result in a serious injury. There is risk to everything in life, but if the reward is greater then to me, you must always risk it. Life is not worth living if you live it afraid. I am not afraid, I am not angry, I accept this and I am thankful for all I have, because I know how much I could have lost.
To all my family, to all my friends, thank you for you're love and support. Remember that life is worth nothing if you risk nothing, because then you never reap the rewards. I won't feel fully healed until I can be back on my horse galloping across my land with the wind in my hair because for me, there is nothing in life better than the freedom I feel on the back of my horse, and there is nothing in life that will stop me from going after that.
Pretty optimistic right? Read the full (aka super-long) story of my accident here.
These two girls have been my best friends since elementary. I will forever appreciate that it was these two who were there for me at the time and in the days to come following my accident.
..and they are responsible for the best thing that has happened to me last year, Cedric Diggory!!
There is really nothing in the world that makes me happier than animals, talk about creature comforts!
Of course, the best part of it being a year later is that I have been back riding my beautiful horses!
Wild hearts can't be broken..

It is such a long journey.
You know, life, sometimes it is just is so exhausting. Long and exhausting.
Yesterday every step I took was laced with the hidden intent to inch myself closer to bed. I woke exhausted and the cloud never lifted. Despite many things to do, my body was done. It couldn't go any further.
When I.hit.the.wall of physical fatigue, I think of Mary. The one who heard from the lips of an angel, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you" is also the one who exhausted herself that the Lord within her might be borne from her.
She walked about Nazareth under the eyes of scrutiny as her belly grew and her hands swelled and her back ached. She endured sleepless nights, with thoughts racing about the growing concern she witnessed on Joseph's face. As the time drew near for her baby to born, she walked 80 miles to Bethlehem from Nazareth because a prophet many years before made a pronouncement about this special baby being born in Bethlehem…crowded Bethlehem, as in the day-before-Christmas-at-the-mall crowed.
Sometimes we tell this story as if Mary were not under the curse of sin. She too experienced the "increase of labor pangs." As is true for us, God's blessing was received on the path of sin's curse.
Yet, His promise remained, "The Lord is with you." When you hurt. When you worry. When you fear. When that baby within has outgrown the space. When others whisper about you. When you feel alone. When you are exhausted from feeling all that you feel. It is then, the Lord is with you.
In our Advent waiting we must remember to be true to the Text. We don't know that Mary rode a donkey…but we hope it's true. It's just as possible she walked every.single.step of those arduous 80 miles. We don't know that Mary had a Hollywood pregnancy—you know, where a woman carries a baby without adding one ounce of cellulite and delivers without dropping one splatter of sweat. It would be nice if that were true, but it's more likely Mary cried and feared and bled and at had at least one moment where she broke down in exhaustion and declared, "I don't think I can do this."
Because that's what the curse of sin does. It tells you that in your feeling, you are failing. You should give up. Go back. Call it quits. It tells you that you are alone; God is not with you. Forget His promises. You are not favored. You are forgotten.
Sin gets us living for what we wish was true rather than embracing with courage what we know to be true. {See the Garden of Eden if you doubt that. If you're still not convinced, keep turning the pages. The history of man as told in the Bible describes a condition bent toward deception.}
Advent waiting requires we embrace Advent promises. The curse of sin remains. Yes, it has been broken by our Has Come King. One day, our Is Coming King will remove the curse of sin completely from the earth. But for now, we journey with the promises of God in a broken, yet remaining and exhausting state of sin.
The Christ within us will also be borne out with sin's curse of pain in labor. His new life in us will stretch us. Sin's resistance will exhaust us. There will be sleepless nights. Some days it will feel like it will never happen. As with all births, it takes time and it requires persisting until the promised date arrives. Ah, but it is new life.
"Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you" Isaiah 42:9.
"You have multiplied the nation, and increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest" Isaiah 9:3.
"But as it is written, 'What no eye has seen, nor ear hear, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him'" 1 Corinthians 2:9.
"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies" Romans 8:19-23
The Virgin birth reminds us we will feel the weight of sin but reminds us to choose courage to believe the promise, "God is with us." Immanuel is here. We are not alone. No matter how long the journey. No matter how exhausting, the truth is God is with us.
In our waiting, we do not wait alone. Can I get an 'Amen?'

A homemade Asian-inspired sauce cooks with beef and coleslaw in this low-carb, paleo, and whole30 recipe. Make this easy & healthy meal in your Instant Pot or slow cooker.
Crack slaw. I love it so much that here I am with another crack slaw recipe days later. I made the other crack slaw basic on purpose but as soon as I tasted it, I thought, 'this is like an un-stuffed egg roll'. I had to make another with more Asian-inspired ingredients so here we are.
Add in your favorite vegetable ingredients to the crack slaw like carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli, etc. You can even swap out the beef for another protein like pork or chicken. Ground meat can even be used.
I grabbed two bags of coleslaw from the store. One was 14 ounces and the other 16. I made this twice using both and honestly, there isn't that much of a difference. So I'll just say, go with whatever you can find. One thing to take into consideration is how much the coleslaw will reduce. Kind of like spinach but not as bad. I like to use 16 ounces.
The cook time in the pressure cooker for this recipe is 0 (zero) minutes. No, that's not a typo you read that correctly. You can set your time to 0. It will still take a few minutes to pressurize but otherwise, this cooks quickly in the Instant Pot.
Asian Beef 'Crack Slaw' VIDEO:
Slow Cooker/Instant Pot Asian Beef 'Crack Slaw' (Low-Carb,Paleo,Whole30)
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 2 hours
- Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips or cut into 1-inch pieces
- 14–16 ounces coleslaw
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil (for IP)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp hot sauce or sriracha (optional)
Slow Cooker
Optional step – brown meat in a skillet over medium heat and drain grease before adding to the slow cooker.
- Add beef, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, green onion, ginger, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) to the slow cooker. Stir to mix well. Add coleslaw on top.
- Cook HIGH 2 hours or LOW 4. Stir & serve.
Instant Pot
- Turn on the IP and select Sauté. Once hot add oil to the pot. Add the beef, green onions, and garlic and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes.
- Add the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, and hot sauce/sriracha (if using). Stir to mix well. Add coleslaw on top.
- Close lid and seal valve. Set manual (high) pressure to 0. Yes, 0 as in zero cook time. Quick release the pressure. Stir & serve.
While this yields 4 servings, this only serves 2 people. At least in my household, we gobbled this up quickly.
I used a 6-quart slow cooker /or Instant Pot and there was plenty of room for more food. You can easily double this recipe to feed a larger crowd. In fact, I recommend doubling the recipe because this went very quickly in my household!

Temperature breaks record in the Bay Area for 10th day in a row
Things are forecast to cool off around the Bay Area next week, but on Saturday, the recent warm stretch continued, with high temperatures breaking a record in one spot.
The temperature hit 69 degrees Saturday at the Oakland airport, the highest temperature recorded at the monitoring station on this date, just barely topping the 2016 record of 68, according to the National Weather Service.
This is the 10th consecutive day temperatures have broken a record around the Bay Area, the Weather Service reports. At some locations around Northern California, temperatures in February are running 10 to 15 degrees above the historic average.
"There's been a really persistent and strong ridge of high pressure near the West Coast since the beginning of the month," said Duane Dykema, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
That's starting to change, though.
"It is starting to retreat offshore a little bit and that's allowing cooler weather systems to come in from the north and bring some cooler air to things," Dykema said.
ALSO: Bay Area sees more record-breaking temperatures
To the northeast, Saturday saw some gusts, with winds hitting 41 ph in Vacaville.
A wind advisory was issued for the North Bay late Saturday morning lasting until midnight Saturday, with gusts potentially reaching 45 to 55 mph at the highest elevations.
The cooldown that's expected in the coming days should bring temperatures back to normal for February, with highs in the low to mid-60s, Dykema said.
"The coolest day will be Monday," he said. "Monday we'll probably see some temperatures in the upper 50s, then it'll warm up a bit with low to mid-60s for the rest of the week. While that's pretty typical, it'll be quite a bit cooler than what we've seen for February so far."
While things are expected to cool off, they're expected to stay dry, with no precipitation in the forecast, continuing an unusually dry few months, forecasters say.
"We haven't had any rain or any significant snow for at least two, maybe three weeks," said Dykema, "and this time of year, it is somewhat unusual to go that long without rain."

New Year's Day Attacks On Christians In India
By Santosh Digal, BosNewsLife Asia Correspondent
NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR (BosNewsLife)– There were new reports of attacks by suspected Hindu militants against Christians in India on New Year's Day, shortly after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised to protect the country's minority Christians in a letter to the widow of an Australian missionary killed nine years ago.
Graham Staines and his two young sons were burned alive in January 1999 as they slept in their car in Orissa state by a right-wing Hindu mob who accused them of trying to convert the local population.
"The government will take all necessary steps to safeguard the fundamental rights and liberties of all sections of our society and protect their religious freedom," Singh wrote to Gladys Staines, according to a statement from his office obtained by BosNewsLife. "We will not tolerate any efforts aimed at disturbing the communal harmony or secular fabric of our country," the prime minister said.
It came as about 5,000 Christians in Orissa were believed to have become victims of week-long Hindu-led attacks, in which up to nine Christians died. Roughly 70 churches, other Christian institutions and many more homes were destroyed since the violence began December 24, with Hindu mobs disrupting Christmas celebrations in Orissa's volatile Kandhamal District, church officials said.
Elsewhere, in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, 30-year-old Pastor Krishnappa and several other Christians gathering at his church were attacked in the early hours of Tuesday, January 1, said Sajan J. George, president of advocacy group Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) in a statement to BosNewsLife.
Two Christians, identified only as Anand, 29, and Raju, 28, were still in a "serious condition" following the attack by some 25 suspected Hindu militants on the Seventh Day Adventist's prayer hall in the Basavanahally area of Karnataka's Chickmaglur district, he said.
"The radicals entered the church with metal rods ,knives and started merciless to attack the [200] peaceful worshippers," George added. Police officials have reportedly described the incident as a "minor skirmish," but GCIC's George said the tiny Christian community is "living in fear."He said the New Year attack was the latest in some 100 violent incidents against Christians in Karnataka since January 2006. Police and local officials have been accused by human rights watchers and church leaders of not doing enough to stop violence against Christian believers.
In addition, the Christian Legal Association has said in published remarks that Hindu extremists in at least some cases cooperate with local police. In Karnataka's capital, Bangalore, police reportedly arrested and harassed five Christian workers recently from the Indian Church of Christ after Hindu militants attacked the believers.
In Orissa state, where most of the violence against Christians occurred in recent days, church leaders and other officials have also complained about a lack of police protection. Police denied the charges, saying they have arrested suspects and stepped up patrols in several areas of the troubled region.
Yet, speaking to BosNewsLife, local Christians said they are concerned about a new outbreak of violence in Orissa, after a tense calm returned there Monday, December 31. A priest from Orissa's Cuttack-Bhubaneswar archdiocese told BosNewslife: "You can't trust police and government officials at all levels anymore."
Speaking on condition of anonymity for fears of reprisals, the priest said he had lost all his belongings and money in the clashes which began in the town of Bamunigam. "I had gone there for Christmas…," he added.
The priest said he never expected that the attacks "were so well planned by Hindu fanatics," adding that "police inaction to protect Christians and church properties" were "clear signs" that the local government "subtly supported" the Hindu rampage.
He stressed there were concerns of more future attacks on the tiny Christian community of Orissa of roughly 900,000 people.

Our Journey moving from Manhattan to a Connecticut Farm
We currently live in midtown Manhattan, about two blocks west of Times Square. Both my wifey and I have lived in New York City for twenty years each. We are scheduled to close on a piece of property and a house that sits in a farming community in Connecticut in less than one month from today. The property that we are moving to is gorgeous. The house sits on a piece of property that has a creek-fed pond stocked with wide-mouth bass, a potting shed (for wifey) and a barn (3 tractors!) complete with a wood heating stove and an upstairs man cave (for me!)
Like all big changes in life, we are filled with emotions ranging from slight discomfort to complete terror. For those of you who know us, fear does not motivate us, and we look forward to the challenge of uprooting ourselves. I am specifically starting this blog before we move so I can capture our expectations and obstacles before they happen. Let's get into the lists.
What We Think We Will Miss:
- 24/7 Convenience. Being able to walk one block at any time of the day or night to grab a pint of Ben and Jerry's a slice of pizza and pistachio gelato.
- Online Delivery. Seamless web has thousands of restaurants of every conceivable ethnicity deliver meals to our apartment within 15 minutes. We did a search of Seamless at our new house and there were three restaurants. Peapod, Fresh Direct, Amazon Same-Day Delivery and Google Express all allow quick and convenient delivery that we have grown accustomed to. Making a cake and forgot the vanilla, no problem. Whip out our phones and a few clicks and 15 minutes later, it will be delivered to our door.
- Visiting friends. Many friends from my past and present have a reason to be in New York City. It is easy for them to visit us and to stay with us. Although we will have more rooms in our new house, fewer people will have a reason to visit us.
- Access to new Restaurants and Trends. Is a description even necessary?
- Opportunity Costs. I've never been to the Statute of Liberty or in the Chrysler Building. I can count the number of times I have been to a museum in the 20 odd years that I've lived in NYC. The point is not the number of times that I have been, but the fact that AT ANY TIME, I could go.
What We Will Not Miss:
- Homelessness, Pan Handlers and Crazy Folks. I remember a time I was walking down a NYC street, and a crazy woman jumped in front of me, blocking my passage. She started to grab the corners of each eye with a dirty finger, and pulled them to slant her eyes. She started chanting, "ching chong Chinese person, ching chong Chinese person." I did the only thing that I could, and grabbed the corners of my eyes and rather than pull them to make them slanted, I pushed them to make them more rounded. I chanted, "whitey wide-eyed woman, whitey wide-eyed woman." Although this was a funny experience, we will not miss these encounters.
- Rude and Annoying People. I remember a time where at a Starbucks, a woman ordered a Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Upside Down Double Blended One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet with Ice. She paid with pennies counting them slowly with no regard for the line forming behind her. Amazingly when she got her drink, she returned it because it was not hot enough. I know the name of this drink because she kept repeating it over and over again like she was the Rainman of coffee.
- Tourists. We're as hospitable as they come, but living so close to Times Square, we get to see tourists at their worst. What is with the crowd that swells after a Broadway play? They take up the entire sidewalk, half of the street, and feel that they own the city. I am one of the few New Yorkers that drives a car. Yeah, in New York City, you can jaywalk – but if you are standing in the street, be prepared to be run over.
- Litter, Pollution and Urine Smells. Do I need to elaborate?
- Traffic and Street Closures. Enough said.
What We Look Forward To:
- Nature. I was reading an article for one cure for depression: being outdoors in nature. Although NYC is famed for having a large park in the middle of it, my day-to-day, I see grass maybe once per month and can count with one hand the number of trees that I see on a daily basis.
- Sunlight. Our NYC loft has a wall of windows, but faces North and is on the ground floor. We miss the sun and look forward to getting more of it
- Space. Although our NYC Loft was big for NYC, it is so small compared to an average sized home. More space means more crapola. I had originally asked whether wifey would like to move to a tiny home (I was thinking <500 sq.ft.). Wife did not even need to think about it before responding negatively. Having a garage and a barn to have my tools rather than regulating them all to a bucket in my closet will be great. I know that wifey will love a room devoted to her crafts.
- Growing Plants. Because our loft has little light, growing plants have always been a challenge. I have resorted to rigging a sunlamp directly over my aquaponics tank to grow a miniscule amount of herbs. My plan is to convert a large Intermediary Bulk Container into a large aquaponics tank. Tilapila on the bottom and herbs and plants on the top. The fish poop provides nutrition for the plants and the plant roots filter the water for the fish.
- Raising Animals. It is illegal to have farm animals as pets in New York City. I look forward to raising chickens, dwarf goats, and pygmy piglets to add to our two puppies.
These are some lists that we expect to miss and expect to gain. Keep posted to find out how it turns out – subscribe to www.cs2fd.com or www.farmdweller.com.

News sharing site Reddit was brought to its knees earlier today by what it says was a "malicious" denial-of-service attack. The site is functioning now, but with limited availability, it says, thanks to the attack.
Site availability continues to be impacted by a malicious DDoS attack.
— reddit status (@redditstatus) April 19, 2013
Reddit has not offered any clues as to who is attacking it or why it thinks the attack is malicous, except to say that these problems are not caused by a normal increase of users coming to the site to read about the situation unfolding in Boston right now.
Reddit came to national attention yesterday when the Reddit community helped identify the suspects of the bombing after the FBI released pictures of them.
On a comment string asking "Who is attacking reddit?" a visitor named "getamongst" asked "So it's actually a DDoS? I thought it was just increased load because of the word getting around about the coverage re Boston."
Redditor "alienth" repled, "The load from the Boston incident was measurable. The attack which is ongoing is orders of magnitude larger. We're mitigating it the best we can." "Alienth" also released this picture showing the site crash when the DDoS started.

Believe it or not, Memorial Day is almost here. It felt like winter would never leave, but here we are at the end of May, getting ready for the unofficial kick-off to summer.
It's important to remember that Memorial Day isn't just about soaking up the sunshine and gorging on grilled meats — it's so much more than that. It's a day to honor those who selflessly gave their lives servings our country.
Of course, the annual Monday federal holiday does give just about everyone a long three-day weekend, but while many will choose to cookout at home and finish their meal with patriotic desserts, many others want to enjoy a stress-free. Thankfully, a handful of restaurants will be open to cater to those not wanting to cook — but also those whose backyard barbecue didn't go according to plan.
Here are some eating establishments ready for your business on Monday, May 27:
Bahama Breeze
If you can't get away to the beach this Memorial Day, perhaps you'll indulge with some tastes of the tropics and island-inspired cocktails.
Bob Evans

Boston Market

Buffalo wild Wings
When your grill breaks down and you still have a hankering for wings, head over to Buffalo Wild Wings. BWWs will operate normal business hours.
Cracker Barrel
Celebrate Memorial Day with some homestyle cooking. Whether you're taking the first road trip of the year or staying close to home, it's good to know all restaurants will be open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The chain is offering a Southern fried chicken picnic box in honor of the holiday. Feed the family with fried chicken, two country sides, and buttermilk biscuit for just $33.99.
Is there a holiday that Denny's isn't there for you? Many locations will be open 24/7.

P.F. Changes will be open normal business hours.

Sonic Drive-In
If you're heading out on the road, you're going to want to fill up on delicious food _ you don't even have to get out of the car. All locations will be open, but hours may vary.
Because your coffee addiction doesn't take a break simply because it's a holiday. Hours will vary by location.

Texas Roadhouse will remain open on Memorial Day, but hours may vary.

Designed to resemble their race-winning TT1 machines and the very last bike built before a buyout by Cagiva, the Ducati F1 was a bit rough around the edges but, in spite of a kit-bike feel and build quality, was a true thoroughbred. The F1 and its variants languished in obscurity for a while, since it wasn't quite a classic and didn't offer a more modern Ducati's refinement or parts availability.
The F1 used a version 749cc Ducati's air and oil-cooled two-valve Pantah motor, tuned to produce 76hp. With just over 400lbs to push around, performance wouldn't give the inline fours from Japan much trouble in a straight line, but it could handle with the best of them.
The two-valve engine was caged by a trellis frame by Verlicchi and wrapped in bodywork that was decidedly old-school, compared to more modern machines like Suzuki's "Slingshot" GSX-R. Ergonomics were clearly an afterthought, with even the air-cleaners sticking out from the bodywork, waiting to foul the rider's knees.
It's not the most collectible version of the F1, but comes with some very nice extras. F1s had a 16″ front and 18″ rear wheel combination, but the Oscam parts fitted to this example both appear to be 16″. They definitely look trick, with the polished rim and modular construction. The seller includes plenty of information about this bike, as you can see below, and it looks like the bike is ready to go.
From the original eBay listing: 1988 Ducati 750 F1 for Sale
1988 Ducati 750 F1, only 19,411 miles, many Monjuich upgrades, great condition
- 1988 Ducati 750 F1 (ZDM750R/2)

- air cooled, 5-speed, chain drive

- only 416 lbs, very quick, not a beginner bike!
- one key, factory owners manual and 750 Montjuich shop manual
- fully street legal once you remount the turn signals (all wiring there)
Upgrades and extras:
- 2-into one Ducati Montjuich pipe
- Second Ducati Montjuich tailpiece with seat reworked by Sargent
- Montjuich fender
- Oscam wheels (very rare)
- Throttlemeister-style throttle lock
- rear paddock stand
OEM parts included:
- Stock front and rear wheels
- Factory F1 pipes, very solid with minor surface ticking, great candidate for blasting and repainting

- few rubs on rear subfender

- seat in very good shape
- no dents in tank
- few oxidized spots on Oscam wheels but nice shape overall
- tires have zero miles: Michelin A59X and M59X
- tires are 2004 and 2005 build date but were properly stored in heated shop so still soft
- bike starts easily, runs, rides and brakes well
- fresh oil and K&N filter, brake fluid flush, clutch fluid flush
- front calipers and master cylinder put thru ultrasonic and rebuilt
- carbs ultrasonic treated and rebuilt with kits installed

- new engine cover seals
- repacked steering head bearings
- lubed cables
- horn feeble at times and not working others
- turn signal circuits all there and work but no signals mounted
- tripmeter reset works but not hard mounted
- sidestand has been shortened
Well, 19,000 miles on a well-maintained Ducati Pantah isn't anything to be scared of, but sure isn't museum-piece low or anything to brag about… But it does appear to have been sympathetically owned, very well maintained, and sensibly updated. The seller also includes a short clip of the bike idling and revving, along with plenty of additional pics. Bidding is very active and up to $9,000 with a few days left on the auction. Folks are asking for north of $20,000 for Laguna Secas and Montjuichs, although basic F1s seem to be much more modestly valued. Given the upgrades and the amount of time left on the auction, I expect this one to go a good bit higher before the auction ends.

Several years ago, a watch was seen as an imperial beauty and the mark of respect was bestowed upon those people who used to wear these around their wrists at all times. These were first introduced in the 15th century, and since 17th century these started evolving big time. The first watches introduced were totally mechanical in their nature, and as technology progressed they evolved into a more electronic mechanism. The first electronic digital watch was introduced in the year 1970.
Wristwatches were first introduced in the 1900's, and at the beginning were known as the 'Wrist let'. At that point of time, these were generally considered as a womanly accessory and were also looked upon as a passing fade. Men at that point preferred keeping pocket watches only, which according to them was still very convenient to use. But the scenario totally changed after World War I, as the soldiers thought that it was unfeasible to use pocket watches, and so they switched using to wristwatches. This was how wristwatches became popular and became a part of the trend that is continuing till date.
It's not only the designs of watches that have changed but also the displays have undergone major transformation. There are many types of displays available, like Analogue, Digital and Lighted Displays. The main function of a watch has always been to show time but it is not only restricted to that any more. Several watches of today even show current date and even the day of the week, as well and also work as alarm clocks. These days many digital watches are having features with which the wearer can know the time just by the sound coming out of these, which is an absolute help for blind people.
Some of the watches are water-resistant too, that is, they are waterproof in their nature and are used mostly by scuba divers, by people who do water rafting, etc. They are strongly built and don't usually break that easily. There are other watches too, which are meant only for kids, but usually carry similar properties as water-resistant watches, so regardless of how kids use them they never give away that easily.
Watches nowadays are more than just a necessity, for they have become fashion statements too. People with high spending capacity generally tend to flaunt their expensive watches from popular brand names. Such watches are often termed as classy, vintage, luxurious, etc. and are quite popular among the celebrities. Common men too envy these beautiful timepieces, and many of them also buy these for the purpose of gifting them away to the ones they dearly love.
You can find all types of watches in almost every shop without much difficulty. They come in different shapes, sizes and designs; moreover are available at all price ranges. If you are not getting your desired option from conventional way of shopping, you can also try to buy yours from some popular online store. You can find a lot of them nowadays, because of which you will also find a lot of competitiveness in their asking prices. Online medium also empowers you to compare the prices of different watches from different websites, which is yet another aspect that you can make use of before making your final purchase.

A Cleveland Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney on Pedestrian Accidents
The most obvious concern in a pedestrian accident is the very real danger of serious injury; a pedestrian is completely vulnerable and is exposed to harm not only from the impact of the vehicle but also to trauma from contact with the road surface after the collision. What is less obvious in many cases is the issue of negligence, which a Cleveland motor vehicle accident attorney must prove to recover damages.
DutyOne element in determining negligence is a showing that the party at fault breached some duty. A Cleveland motor vehicle accident lawyer emphasizes that both the driver and the pedestrian have a duty in sharing the roadways.
Pedestrian NegligencePedestrians have a duty to exercise reasonable care in walking near roadways and particularly when crossing the street where, a Cleveland motor vehicle accident attorney reports, a large percentage of pedestrian accidents occur. The insurance company for the driver will often attempt to deny a claim based on an allegation the pedestrian was 100 percent at fault. In reality, however, a Cleveland motor vehicle accident attorney understands that the driver is statistically far more likely to be at fault.
Driver NegligenceOne of the leading causes of driver negligence is driver distraction, which can be due to anything that takes the driver's focus off of the road but commonly involves texting or cell phone usage. Other causes a Cleveland motor vehicle accident lawyer regularly observes involve:
-Running a red light
-Turning without looking
-Driving while intoxicated
Negligence Per SeIf a Cleveland motor vehicle accident attorney can demonstrate the driver broke a law designed for public safety and that an injury resulted, then the negligent act or omission need not be specifically proved.
Modified Comparative NegligenceEven if the pedestrian is determined to be partially at fault, they can still recover damages if they were 50 percent or less at fault under Ohio law; however, their award will be reduced by the degree of their fault.
Contact a Cleveland Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer for Legal AdviceThe issues in a pedestrian accident are often complex. Be certain your rights are protected. Call the Law Office of Shapero & Green, a Cleveland motor vehicle accident attorney group, at 216-831-5100.

We recently posted on Taiwan's new same-sex marriage law and its limitations.
In a related case, we recently assisted an U.S. citizen and his same-sex spouse, who were married in the U.S. but living in Asia, in an expedited filing (I-130) directly with the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong. See our article about this process here. The expedited filing was accepted primarily based on a job transfer back to the U.S. After the filing was accepted, the U.S. citizen interviewed and his petition was approved in two days. The spouse then completed visa processing and received his visa (CR-1) three days after interviewing. The whole process from filing to approval took 5 weeks, as compared to 12-18 months for the normal process.
For clients in Taiwan, or anywhere else in Asia, in similar situations – be it a job transfer or medical emergency – we are confident that we can replicate results for expedited processing if the appropriate documentation is available. If expedited processing is for some reason not an option, we can also assist in filing the required paperwork with USCIS in the United States. This, of course, takes longer.
If you are interested in more information on our services, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or +8493-330-14-88 and arrange to speak with one of our experienced U.S. immigration consultants or attorneys.

Lurpak butter with Læsø salt
- Read time:

- Published:
- 15 October 2004
- Contacts:
- Press contact
Lurpak, the global butter brand, is available with salt from Læsø.
Arla Foods has entered into an untraditional partnership with Læsø Saltsyderi, the makers of Denmark's most expensive salt by using an open fire method dating back to the Middle Ages.
Following 18 months' product development, Læsø Saltsyderi is now supplying 5 tons salt per annum to Arla. The deal will increase Læsø Saltsyden's annual production from 40 to 45 tons per annum.
"Consumers know that Lurpak is a quality product. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to continue to strengthen a classic brand like Lurpak. Lurpak butter is losing market share and is under increasing pressure from competitors," says Product Manager Laurent Ponty, Arla Foods, who expects Lurpak butter with Læsø Salt to achieve a 3-4% of the Danish butter market in the longer-term.
The new product is also expected to make consumers more aware of traditional Lurpak butter.
Salt producer Poul Christensen from Læsø Saltsyderi has no misgivings about working with a company the size of Arla Foods. He considers that a certain capacity is necessary to compete in world markets. And small firms are not necessarily better because they are small.
"The media tends to highlight problems and presents them in a one-sided way," says Poul Christensen, who is proud of the new products. "There is nothing wrong with size and strength providing you behave properly."
"Denmark is the world's best butter producer and Lurpak butter is the pride of Danish agriculture. Lurpak with Læsø Salt will appeal to consumers who consider that butter is a tasty experience in itself."

KY Gun-Violence Incidence "Twice as High" as New York City
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky tops New York City when it comes to gun fatalities, according to Mark Bryant, a Harlan County native and Lexington resident who leads the Gun Violence Archive.
Formed in 2013, the research group compiles gun death information from thousands of sources around the country. Bryant said no one had been keeping accurate statistics on gun deaths.
"Whereas we look at homicides and we look at family annihilation, we look at accidental shooting, we look at all sorts of shootings that don't necessarily make the FBI's list," Bryant said.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, 155 people in Kentucky have been shot and killed so far this year. Bryant said looking at the numbers of people who lose their lives in gun incidents every year has revealed some surprising findings when comparing Kentucky to other states.
"Kentucky has a very loose set of gun laws, and New York City has a very tight set of gun laws," he said. "If all things were equal, the rate of gun violence would be pretty much the same for both. But the reality is, Kentucky has over twice as many gun-violence incidents than New York City has."
State lawmakers continue to relax what little gun-control legislation exists in Kentucky. In March, they passed Senate Bill 150, allowing people to carry concealed firearms without a permit or training. Backed by the National Rifle Association, the law went into effect in June.
But Bryant said not all Kentuckians think guns make their communities safer.
"Gun-rights advocates always like to say, 'Well, you're just a gun grabber, y'know, you just want to ban the Second Amendment,' or whatever," he said. "And I explain to them that I'm from Harlan, Kentucky, and I've probably been shooting longer than they have."
Facing mounting public pressure and protests outside his Louisville home, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has recently announced the Senate could possibly consider a federal ban on assault weapons.

The National Post had a great editorial today on Jennifer Lynch and her hypocritical attack on the free speech of those who disagree with her. It begins this way:
"Monday in Montreal, Jennifer Lynch, chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), launched a counterattack against critics who, over the past couple of years, have suggested the commission is out of control and should have its power to investigate alleged hate speech taken away from it. In an address to a conference of other human rights commissioners, an excerpt of which is posted here, Ms. Lynch claimed to welcome debate on the future of human rights legislation no fewer than five times, then proceeded to dismiss anyone who questioned the legitimacy of commissions as unworthy of listening to.
She accused many of her institution's detractors in "the mainstream media" of clouding the facts about commissions' roles and tactics in an attempt to discredit them. "Critics of the human rights system are manipulating and misrepresenting information to further a new agenda: one that posits that human rights commissions and tribunals no longer serve a useful purpose."
But claiming that the commissions have overstepped their original purposes and outlived their usefulness is a legitimate argument. It is clearly one Ms. Lynch disagrees with, but she does not get to be the final arbiter of what is and isn't acceptable in debates about the commissions' future.
Still, she can be forgiven for believing she is. The CHRC acts as investigator, prosecutor and judge of complaints of racism and hate speech. Moreover, it gets to decide what constitutes hatefulness in print or the spoken word. No wonder Ms. Lynch cannot understand why she should have to tolerate those who advocate the end of human rights commissions. In her daily working life, she gets to define away those she disagrees with, so why not in the broader public debate on rights and who should protect them?
I sense that the tide is turning. The politicians are way behind public opinion on this issue. Read the rest here.
