Reblogging because I’ve gotten a few more followers again since then. Feel free to send an ask!

I see I have lots of new followers on here so I gotta say: Feel free to send me asks! I know I was gone for a while but I’m back and should be more active now. If anyone has any video recommendations I’d love to hear them since I’ve had a creative block. It can be any musical, not just DWSA or Sing Street!! :)

A nationwide recall of meat and poultry products potentially contaminated with listeria has expanded to nearly 12 million pounds and now includes ready-to-eat meals sent to U.S. schools, restaurants and major retailers, federal officials said. The updated recall includes prepared salads, burritos and other foods sold at stores including Costco, Trader Joe’s, Target, Walmart and Kroger. The meat used in those products was processed at a Durant, Oklahoma, manufacturing plant operated by BrucePac. The Woodburn, Oregon-based company sells precooked meat and poultry to industrial, foodservice and retail companies across the country. Routine testing found potentially dangerous listeria bacteria in samples of BrucePac chicken, officials with the U.S. Agriculture Department said. No illnesses have been confirmed in connection with the recall, USDA officials said. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not launched an outbreak investigation, a spokesperson said. The recall, issued on Oct. 9, includes foods produced between May 31 and Oct. 8. The USDA has posted a 342-page list of hundreds of potentially affected foods, including chicken wraps sold at Trader Joe’s, chicken burritos sold at Costco and many types of salads sold at stores such as Target and Walmart. The foods were also sent to school districts and restaurants across the country. The recalled foods can be identified by establishment numbers “51205 or P-51205” inside or under the USDA mark of inspection. Consumers can search on the USDA recall site to find potentially affected products. Such foods should be thrown away or returned to stores for refunds, officials said. Eating foods contaminated with listeria can cause potentially serious illness. About 1,600 people are infected with listeria bacteria each year in the U.S. and about 260 die, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Listeria infections typically cause fever, muscle aches and tiredness and may cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Symptoms can occur quickly or to up to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food. The infections are especially dangerous for older people, those with weakened immune systems or who are pregnant. The same type of bacteria is responsible for an outbreak tied to Boar’s Head deli meat that has killed at least 10 people since May.

Realtors. You must stop calling everything mid-century modern, "Frank Lloyd Wright style." This unique 1969 (reno'd in in 1994) MCM home in Durant, Oklahoma was designed by architect Robert Valberg and is one-of-a-kind. 4bds, 6ba, $899K.

This bamboo look paneling is not Wright's style. It's unique.

Very spacious, love the ceiling and glass walls. Notice the wood flooring cutouts w/the carpet.

Very large home.

Isn't this skylight unique?

Nice kitchen- it's behind a curving island of lower cabinets.

Pantry that looks like an armoire.

Look at the gates.

This must be the primary bedroom with the fancy fireplace.

What a lovely sink.

Plus a vintage makeup vanity.

Upgraded double shower.

And, a walk-in closet.

#2 of 8 baths.

Great rec room and bar on the ground floor. Looks like maybe they left the game tables.

The outdoor kitchen on the patio.

Pretty feature on the property looks castle-like.

Beautiful pool.

Property measures 4.3 acres.

It's a very large MCM that can actually be called an estate.

A principios de la década de los 70 se comenzó en Rusia un proyecto titánico, consistente en realizar un hoyo en la tierra tan profundo que pudiese atravesar la corteza terrestre, situada a unos 30 km de profundidad en esta zona. Bautizado como pozo de Kola, la excavación está situada a aproximadamente 10 km de la ciudad de Zapolyarny, y por desgracia para los científicos y geólogos las elevadas temperaturas dieron al traste con el proyecto.

Las intenciones en un primer momento eran las de alcanzar al menos los 15 km de profundidad, y tras más de diez años de duro trabajo se logra establecer un nuevo récord, batiendo el de 9.582 metros que ostentaba el Pozo Bertha Rogers (Oklahoma). Pero desafortunadamente la suerte no acompañaría durante mucho tiempo a los rusos.

En el año 1983, cuando el pozo de Kola ya alcanza los 12 km de profundidad, se produce un derrumbamiento en el interior y gran parte del trabajo se pierde. Sin rendirse, los rusos comienzan a excavar de nuevo a partir de los 7 km, llegando en 1989 a los 12.262 metros de profundidad. Es en este momento cuando los trabajadores se encuentran con una barrera infranqueable, los 180 grados de temperatura dentro del túnel y la gran cantidad de fango e hidrógeno que rezuman constantemente del fondo.

El pozo de Kola tendría motivos más que sobrados para ser famoso simplemente por la épica del trabajo que se ha desempeñado en él, pero su fama mundial viene de la más insospechada de las maneras. El imaginario popular además de los rumores le han atribuido el ser la mismísima puerta del infierno, en base a un supuesto artículo de periódico finlandés en el que se afirmaba que los geólogos habían grabado gritos de agonía y lamentos en el fondo del pozo.

Es innegable que el pozo de Kola puede ser considerado como la puerta del infierno, pero no hay necesidad de recurrir a las almas torturadas y el fuego eterno: ya es suficientemente infernal sólo con las características de presión y temperatura que le brinda la naturaleza.

Blake always aware and helping regarding life in OK and tornadoes.

Blake Shelton’s Home Nearly Hit by Fatal Tornadoes in Oklahoma (tasteofcountry.com) 2011

Shelton was home with his buddies when he caught wind of the nearby twister, but rather than heed the weatherman's warning, the group headed outside. "Being the smart guy that I am, I walked outside and stood in the driveway so I could see it," the singer says. "We actually filmed the tornado when it came out of the sky. It was only about a mile-and-a-half from my house. It touched the ground for a minute and moved east. Once it moved past my house and got out on the prairie, it just gained a lot of momentum and got stronger and stronger," he recalls.
