Re: LifeGuard 3 King Air B200 off runway Maple Creek SK

There were two separate consultant reports that called for the move to two pilots. But the process stalled and it wasn't until after the accident that the government committed publicly to a two pilot system.

Re: Multi-Culturism a Failure

Apparently, the failure extends even to spelling skills too.

And, immigration can be a sound practice, but requires investment into integration and settlement for a positive outcome.

I wonder if they'll have to adjust the music for all the dramatic pauses in his singing.

Re: Tehran's opinion of Canada

I have to admit, Iran makes me nervous. And even the Muslim faith makes me jittery, especially as a woman. Did you know in the past, there were dozens of strains on the Muslim faith, and only a few were radical or conservative? Then, those with the radical faiths began forming government and the tro...

Where are you and what are you up to?
Sounds fascinating. It would probably be hard to go back to processed foods after that.

Re: Where's the beef... in your butter?

Good idea!
But I don't think so. I think it would be listed after the French ingredients too, and it's not.
And Kraft has some sort of similar number on every product, so it's probably a company specific thing.
I will email them tomorrow.
Man, I hate being obsessed by stupid things!

Re: Where's the beef... in your butter?

For sure. And actually hung for 21 days too, probably. My butcher will hang them for 21, most sort of try to hang a maximum of 14. But the stuff you're buying at most retail places... luck if it's been hung for two now.

Perhaps. I'll read up on it and report back. And I know Five Guys - have been there twice. It's awesome, and from all accounts, they seem to be a decent corporate citizen and a massive success story of a mom and pop shop gone viral. Because I have a cow a year custom butchered, I rarely eat beef whe...

Where's the beef... in your butter?

So, in a rare domestic moment, I made peanut butter cookies this evening. Glancing at the ingredients label on my Costco-sized jar of Kraft smooth peanut butter, I was surprised to learn that guess what? Yup. There's no longer any butter in peanut butter. Select roasted peanuts, soybean oil, corn de...
